What is lymphatic Filariasis
Lymphatic Filariasis is an infection that occurs when filarial parasites are transmitted from a person to a person through bites of mosquitoes. After many years of infection, it can cause severe chronic manifestation such as lymphoedema, elephantiasis and hydrocele (sctrotal swelling). The enlargement of body parts are often painful and cause severe disability as well as social stigma.
Mass treatment for eliminating transmission of lymphatic filariasis is happening from 4 to 8 November in East New Britain Province.
Quality-assured three medicines donated through WHO – Ivermectin, DEC and Albendazole – will be administrated in combination. Each medicine is effective in reducing baby worms circulating in blood of infected persons and partially damaging adult worms. But when three medicines are combined, it will be effective in damaging adult worms too so that they cannot produce baby worms any more.
In addition, they are also effective in clearing scabies, lice and intestinal worms too.
Everyone will need to take the medications except for:
• Children under 2 years of age
• Pregnant women
• Breast mother in the first week after giving birth
• Severely ill
Mass treatment is safe. Hundreds millions of people are receiving mass treatment with Albendazole, Ivermectin, and DEC every year globally.
Minor adverse events might occur, mainly due to dying worms or anxiety. However, common adverse events will resolve within 72 hours.
Your cooperation in ensuring that you and your family take your tablets during the mass treatment campaign is an important step towards PNG’s efforts in eliminating Lymphatic Filariasis from our precious country.
Treat, reduce and eliminate lymphatic filariasis.
Yes We Can!!!
