Central Board of Health is a premier health regulatory agency responsible for Human and Environmental Health, which is mandated by the Public Health Ordinance Cap. 353 of 1956. A major part of the Central Board of Health is the Vector Control Unit, where routine inspections are carried out on a daily basis to reduce/eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites.
