UNCOOPERATIVE residents are hampering Health Department officers from doing their jobs when they are on the ground checking premises for Aedes mosquitoes breeding ground.

Perak Health Committee chairman Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon said there have been several incidents whereby residents did not allow the health officers to enter their homes, despite having the necessary documents and identification tags.
