Eco-Friendly Dengue Vector Control: The Application of a Phytotherapy Bio-Spray and Environmental Aromatherapy in Palembang Indonesia
Downloads
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains an unresolved public health issue in Indonesia. One area experiencing fluctuating DHF prevalence is Kertapati District. In response to this situation, the Gas and Steam Power Plant (PLTGU) Unit Keramasan in Kertapati District implemented a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program as part of its institutional social commitment. This initiative introduced a social innovation in the health sector: the launch of a natural bio-spray insecticide that combines a dual phytotherapeutic approach involving natural insecticide and environmental aromatherapy, with the aim of reducing the incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in the PLTGU Keramasan operational area, specifically Kertapati District. The program included health education sessions and training on the production of natural insecticides, involving 75 participants from the Kertapati community. The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative has had a positive impact, contributing to a reduction in DHF cases in Kertapati District while also enhancing community creativity and innovation.
