Health Ministry roles out plan for 'war' on dengue fever

The Public Health Ministry has announced it will push for the establishment of dengue-fever "war rooms" across the country in all provinces.

The move follows a dengue fever pandemic that has claimed over 50 lives this year alone. As of June 11, 43,609 Thais have contracted dengue fever this year. 
According to the ministry, war rooms have currently been set up in only 26 of Thailand’s 77 provinces.
