DENGUE fever  - "No Aedes, No Dengue"

Today we'll unpack a totally preventable, vector-borne disease --> Dengue Fever.

However, as one of the NTDs, Dengue disproportionately affects those who are marginalized, have poor socio-economic status, and less favorable social determinants of health.

Along with current climate crisis, this vector-borne disease will see expansion into previously naïve community and geographic location --> causing outbreaks, morbidity and mortality.

BONUS - 15th JUNE is ASEAN Dengue Day
