Challenge

Dengue is one of the most prevalent diseases affecting children and youth in tropical climate. Dengue outbreak happens during rainy season and on hot, humid situation. Fatality for severe dengue cases is high and there is a need to provide adequate medication for affected individuals. There is also a need to mount village-level educational support so that control is done.

Solution

We will provide immediate treatment and care for patients affected by dengue. Immediate care is very much needed because fatality for most severe cases is high. Aside from medical care we will provide educational support to villages with dengue outbreak. Education will be focused on the eradication and control of dengue-carrying mosquitoes. We will also provide vegetable gardening support in order to improve nutrition to poor villagers.

Long-Term Impact

Dengue epidemic affects especially children and youth and there is a need to improve the medical care and education in villages in order to minimize mortality. Severe cases of dengue usually results to death and pro-active medical care is needed. Healthy individuals means healthy communities.
