Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said a total of 72,356 dengue cases were reported from January to July this year, an 89.5% increase from the same period last year.
Dr Dzulkefly said dengue death toll had risen to 108 from 61 fatalities last year, where a surge in dengue cases started in May this year as compared to the corresponding period in 2018.
Meanwhile, the Health Minister said the theme "End Dengue - Starts with Me" had been chosen for the Communication For Behavioural Impact (Combi) convention in conjunction with the national-level Asean Dengue Day that he launched Sunday.
Dr Dzulkefly said the theme was appropriate to show that dengue control is every individual and every community’s responsibility.
