“The prevention of dengue is not within the scope of duties of the Health Ministry, in countries like Singapore dengue prevention is within the purview of the Ministry of Environment, the prevention of dengue extends the duties of the Ministry of health,” he said.
The Minister made these observations at a meeting of The Presidential Task Force on Dengue Control held today at the Presidential Secretariat.
Minister of Youth Affairs Dallas Allahapperuma, Secretary to the President Lalith Weerathunga, the Mayor of Colombo A.J.M Muzammil together with secretaries of 12 ministries participated in the event.

The technical support should be spearheaded by the ministry of Health with the support of all other ministries,” he said.
