#Dengue#LatamCaribbean, April 1, 2024 – Director of the Pan American Health Organization, Jarbas Barbosa, says 2024 might be the worst dengue season for Latin America and the Caribbean. A UN health Agency on Thursday March 28 made this announcement and urged the region to prepare, as dengue is worsened by global warming and the El Nino phenomenon. It is reported that in less than 3 months in 2024, regional authorities recorded over 3.5 million dengue cases and up to a thousand deaths, a increase compared to the same period in 2023.
