According to the survey, the Dengue Fever epidemic progressed with too many complications aside from outside factors like sudden weather change and terrain difficulty causing delays for treatment still have a lot of internal problems such as water storages, waste storage with liquid aren't properly maintained and handled properly allowing for the disease to spread further thus lengthening the epidemic.

Many analysis predicts that at the end of 2019, the disease will continue to gets worse with August to October having major rise of the epidemic without any direct prevention and governors involvement. During the work in Gia Lai, the Union has conduct check ups at Kbang district, General Hospital of Gia Lai, Military Hospital 211. The Union has pointed out the underlying problems with epidemic control of the region.

In reality, the disease prevention work still have a lot of trouble due to lack of awareness and care from the civilians towards epidemic control. Some area governors just push all responsibilities to the hospitals and medical research agencies... Not only that, patient treatment has a lot of difficulty due to overload of patients and lack of doctors.

Currently the amount of outside treatment patients are extremely high, light and moderate case are mostly taken care of by private hospitals therefore the Union has requested the Health Ministry to put regulations on instant patient reports from privates hospitals to control the situation.

The Union also requested the local governors to be involved further, suppling funds on time to disease prevention works, have constant inspector groups continuously supervise during epidemic seasons; especially focus on media coverage to raise awareness and assistance from the citizens and organizations in epidemic control. Chemical spraying is only a band-aid solution. Constant enviromental maintenance and cleanup as well as complete eradication of mosquito nest are the main concern of epidemic prevention
