DENGUE IN A NUTSHELL


As of 20 June 2024, over 9.6 million dengue cases have been reported to WHO in 2024, including 4.7 million confirmed cases, over 19,000 severe cases, and over 5,000 deaths.


Given the current scale of the dengue outbreaks, the potential risk of further international spread and the complexity of factors impacting transmission, the overall risk at the global level is still assessed as High and thus dengue remains a global threat to public health.


In Myanmar, International SOS, a British Chamber of Commerce Member, have recorded an increase in Dengue cases across the country as well. To raise awareness of the current situation, we are offering an insightful and informative briefing in a health talk titled "Dengue in a Nutshell".


Join us on 20 August 2024, where our subject matter expert will be sharing about

  • The current Dengue trend in Myanmar,
  • Causes and symptoms of the disease,
  • Discussing effective response strategies
  • Exploring preventive measures to control the cases

The webinar will be conducted in Burmese language.
