When dengue fever was attacking southern Taiwan, the average health center in a rural township had only five employees. But communities there are spread widely and it required a great deal of time and personnel to visit each and every community and inspect outdoor containers of standing water, destroy carrier mosquitoes, and spray disinfectant.
在登革熱侵襲南台灣時，南部各鄉鎮衛生所平均僅有數名人力，但社區分佈廣泛，要到各個社區檢查戶外容器積水、撲滅病媒蚊、進行消毒，得耗費許多時間與人力。
