Set for June 15, ASEAN Dengue Day aims to raise awareness of dengue fever in member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions.
ASEAN Dengue Day was established in 2010 as a collaborative effort among ASEAN member countries to combat the dengue fever epidemic, considered a major public health challenge in the region.
The event aims to inform the public about dengue prevention and control measures, promote community participation and strengthen regional cooperation in the fight against this disease.
During ASEAN Dengue Fever Day, various activities and campaigns are held in ASEAN member states. These can include educational programs in schools and communities, public health campaigns, seminars, workshops, and media campaigns aimed at disseminating information about dengue prevention, symptoms, and treatment.
The day serves as a platform to mobilize resources, share best practices and encourage collaboration among ASEAN countries to fight dengue fever.
