Dengue kits

Taiwan hands over dengue kits to Nauru to combat outbreak

Taiwan Ambassador Joseph Chow presented the 200 kits to President Baron Waqa at the Office of the President earlier this month.

The kits are in use at the Nauru hospital.

The Nauru Health Department declared a dengue outbreak about two weeks and moved quickly to manage its spread with a week-long national cleaning drive and other activities like island-wide spraying.

Eight wellness centres have been set up around the island and with extended operating hours.
