West Jakarta Dengue Cases Show Significant Decline by June 2026

The West Jakarta Health Department (Sudinkes) has recorded a downward trend in Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DBD) cases in the region over the last three months. Although the figures show a decrease, the public is asked to remain vigilant considering climatic factors that still support mosquito breeding.

Based on official data from the West Jakarta Sudinkes, the graph of dengue cases has shown a consistent decline since the beginning of the second quarter of 2026.

The Head of the West Jakarta Sudinkes, Sahruna, stated that this reduction is the result of hard collaborative work between health workers and the community in maintaining environmental cleanliness.

Although the trend is sloping, Sahruna reminded residents not to be complacent. Based on predictions from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), environmental conditions in West Jakarta currently remain highly supportive of the life cycle of dengue-transmitting mosquitoes.

Additionally, air temperatures are predicted to range from 24 to 31 degrees Celsius, approaching the average optimum temperature for mosquito development, which is 25 to 27 degrees Celsius.

The West Jakarta Sudinkes continues to instruct all Community Health Centre (Puskesmas) ranks to tighten larvae monitoring through Epidemiological Investigation (PE). The public is urged to re-intensify the Mosquito Nest Eradication Movement (PSN) using the 3M Plus method:

• Draining: Cleaning places that often serve as water reservoirs.

• Covering: Tightly closing water storage containers.

• Recycling: Repurposing used items that have the potential to become mosquito breeding grounds.

The government emphasises that early detection of mosquito larvae, relying on the independent awareness of residents acting as Larva Monitoring Officers (Jumantik) in their own homes, is the main key to controlling dengue.
