The District of Melaka Tengah has 3 potential entry points for imported diseases, namely the Batu Brendam Airport, Sunagi Udang Port and Quayside Port. To date no imported cases of yellow fever or plague has been detected through these entry points.
Aedes and rats' ticks survey is a very important activity in
these areas.
The non-communicable diseases include cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, motor vehicles accident, alcohol and substances abuse. Most of the problems were tackled at the yearly themed healthy life style campaign. This year theme is 'exercise for your health'.
