Based at 8 locations in Yangon Region, a sticker campaign on how to prevent severe diarrhoea was conducted on YBS buses, according to Yangon Region Public Transport Committee (YRTC).
It was held at the same time on 11 July in 8 locations including People’s Park on Pyay Road, aiming to help YBS passengers to know about guidelines on how to prevent the disease.
Under the leadership of Yangon General Hospital’s superintendent, Yangon Region Chief Minister, regional ministers, officials from the regional Public Health Department, lecturers from the University of Nursing and YRTC staffs attached the stickers on YBS buses run along Pyay Road and distributed leaflets on education about the disease to passengers onboard.
The sticker campaign was also held at Sule, Myaynigone, Kabar Aye, Danyingone, North Okkala roundabout, Sanpya Market and Thakhin Mya Park.
“We did it in 8 locations at the same time-Sule, Myaynigone, Kabar Aye, Danyingone, North Okkala roundabout, Sanpya Market, Thakhin Mya Park and People’s Park. Stickers include tips on the disease prevention- wash hands properly before meal and before preparing meal, make sure proper sanitation, pay attention to hygiene, make sure foods cooked fully, keep foods covered and pay attention to cleaning in surroundings to prevent from reproducing mosquitoes and flies. We distributed similar leaflets too. This campaign aims to help the public to be aware of the severe diarrhoea so that they know how to prevent it, like saying prevention is better than cure,” said YRTC joint secretary U Lyan Cing Mahn.
