PT DAHANA delivered assistance with fogging or fumigation of dengue fever mosquitos to help the Subang community to realize “Healthy Village” program and prevent the spread of the dengue mosquito. This activity was carried out in Cikareo neighbourhood in Sadawarna village, Cibogo District, Subang Regency, West Java, on Thursday, April 25, 2024.
Head of PT DAHANA’s Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER) unit, Eman Suherman, said that the company also collaborated with environmental health workers from the Cibogo Community Health Center, Sadawarna village government, and the head of Cikareo neighbourhood to accompany the fogging process carried out by DAHANA.
“We were accompanied by Mr Muhammad Arif from the Cibogo Community Health Center, Mr. Sopyan from the Sadawarna village government, and the Head of Cikareo neighbourhood Mr Musli for our fogging this time. DAHANA also expressed its deep condolences to the casualties of the vicious aedesaegypti mosquito. “Hopefully this fogging can prevent the spread of mosquitoes to make sure that more people are getting safer,” said Mr Suherman.
