Dengue update -2023.01.12
Total of 31162 suspected dengue cases for the year 2020 and 834 suspected dengue cases were reported to the Epidemiology Unit from all over the island from January 2023 to up to now, .
Approximately 26.1 % of dengue cases were reported from the Western province. The highest numbers of dengue cases were reported during the 29th week of 2017.
The outbreak situation in 2017 warranted extensive and regular removal of possible mosquito breeding sites from the environment, along with strengthened patient education on management of fever which resulted in a relatively low mortality.
It is very important to seek medical attention in the event of fever and to do relevant laboratory investigations at least by day three of the illness.
The PSSP has decided to appreciate the Verifiable PMCIs who have contributed well to improving the PHC reorganization activities in the last three years. The establishment of FFC is one of the indicators to be considered for the appreciation

Sri Lanka has had a sound primary healthcare approach since the mid-1920s (even before the Declaration of Alma-Ata in 1978). Sri Lanka has made notable progress in key healthcare indicators. Life expectancy at birth, maternal and child health as well as neo-natal, infant and under-5 mortality rates are higher than the South Asian average.
