Abstract

Successful control and prevention of dengue fever requires active involvement from all parties. For this reason, three innovative programs are needed, namely: i) increasing knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of the community and health professionals as capital in controlling dengue fever in a sustainable manner; ii) application of "3M Plus" to suppress vector breeding in household settings; iii) promotion of the "Jumantik" program as an effective community empowerment approach to prevent and control dengue fever based on community independence. It was concluded that successful control of dengue fever requires integration of the community and health workers through various innovative programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
