Top CDO health cases in 2021 include heart attacks and animal bites.

The two most common health cases here in 2021, according to the City Health Office (CHO), were heart attacks and animal bites.

Heart attacks were the leading cause of death last year, according to Dr. Rachel Dilla, director of the CHO, with an average case count of 202.23 and 127.58 fatalities in a five-year average from 2016 to 2020.

This indicates that 28 people die each week from heart attacks, according to Dilla, who spoke during a local media conference.

With 172.53 recorded deaths, Covid-19-related deaths came in second in 2021.

With 132.3 average instances, hypertension or high blood pressure would come in third place in 2021.

Animal bites were the leading cause of morbidity, or health cases that did not result in death, with 1,360 on average in 2021, or 362.82 on average from 2016 to 2020.

The city had spent PHP7 million on anti-rabies vaccines the previous year and was able to cure about 10,000 bites, according to Dilla.

As she noticed that some regulations and ordinances pertaining to the owner’s accountability, notably on stray dogs, were rarely observed, she admonished the public to be more responsible owners.

With 282 typical instances in 2021 and 363 in the five-year average, hypertension placed in second place behind animal bites.
