RESUMEN
Se diseñó e implementó un sistema de vigilancia integrado para la prevención del dengue, en el municipio Cotorro en Ciudad de La Habana, aplicando el enfoque de ecosistema. Cuba, ubicada geográficamente en la cercanía de países con una alta incidencia de dengue y con un enfoque preventivo como premisa de su Sistema de Salud Pública, necesita adoptar medidas para prevenir nuevas epidemias de dengue. Fueron integrados los componentes de la vigilancia, ambiental, entomológico y clínico-epidemiológico, en interrelación con una estrategia de participación social. Se realizaron varios talleres con las personas implicadas en la búsqueda y el análisis de la información obtenida. Se creó una base de datos automatizada con salida de indicadores y mapas temáticos que permitieron la estratificación de riesgos para el dengue y su vector, fueron además organizados 17 grupos vecinales. La vigilancia ambiental constituyó el primer elemento a tener en cuenta para evitar la proliferación de Aedes aegypti. El Sistema Integrado de Vigilancia para el dengue desarrollado en el proyecto constituyó una importante herramienta para la toma de decisiones al nivel local.
A comprehensive ecosystem approach-based surveillance system was designed and implemented for dengue prevention in Cotorro municipality at the City of Havana. Cuba, geographically situated near those countries with high dengue incidence, and having a preventive approach as a premise of its public healthcare system, has to adopt measures to prevent new dengue epidemics. The environmental, entomological and clinical/epidemiological elements of the surveillance system were integrated and combined with a social participation strategy. A number of workshops were held for the people involved in search and analysis of the collected information. An automated database with indicators and thematic map outputs made risk stratification for dengue and its vector possible. Additionally, 17 groups of neighbors were organized. The environmental surveillance was the first element to be taken into account to avoid Aedes aegypti spread. The comprehensive surveillance system for dengue developed in the project was an important tool for the decision-taking process at local level.
