In La Libertad, Peru, health officials are calling for citizen cooperation during home inspections aimed at combating the spread of dengue. Dr. Gerardo Florián Gómez, the Regional Health Manager, reported that approximately 44% of inspected homes tested positive for the Aedes aegypti mosquito vector.

Authorities warned that public resistance to these medical brigades could result in increased fatalities or the collapse of hospitals if preventive measures are not implemented immediately. To assist with identification, officials noted that brigades wear blue uniforms with institutional vests and carry visible identification, often accompanied by security personnel or local community agents.
