Are Healthcare Staff Ready for the Dengue Fever Epidemic Challenge?

The rising incidence of dengue fever poses a significant threat, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe, potentially requiring hospitalization. The economic burden associated with the disease has stressed healthcare systems in several countries. Furthermore, the COVID-۱۹ pandemic has already strained healthcare workers, causing mental health issues and burnout. To effectively address the dengue fever epidemic, governments must invest in strengthening healthcare infrastructure, increase healthcare workers' knowledge and salaries, and implement resilience-building interventions. Vaccination and preventive measures are crucial in reducing the disease burden and alleviating the pressure on healthcare systems, ensuring better preparedness and support for healthcare staff.
