Civil Servants in the Northern Division took time out yesterday to clean up their area of operation.

The cleanup was focused on the removal of all potential mosquito breeding sites.

The Northern Division Taskforce team is creating awareness on the reduction and eradication of Leptospirosis, Typhoid, Dengue Fever and Diarrhoea throughout Macuata, Bua and Cakaudrove.

House-to-house inspection and larval surveillance were also conducted in addition to spraying hot spot areas.

This initiative is a whole of government approach coordinated by the National Disaster Management Office and the Ministry of Health.

The goal of this clean up campaign is to increase the knowledge and understanding of proactive measures against these infectious diseases.
