Last year, the Dominican Republic achieved historic reductions in dengue incidence. This milestone was made possible by coordinated prevention efforts among various government institutions, and, crucially, by the massive participation of the community in ongoing clean-up and awareness campaigns conducted by Provincial Health Directorates and Area Health Services (DPS\/DAS) throughout the country.<\/p>\n
