An update to our lovely supporters!

We had the honour of hosting a special Dengue Side Meeting during the historic 75th United Nations General Assembly  UNGA75) last month. Our side meeting took place on the 24th September 2020 and so we thought that would share the video sessions with you all.

The sessions covered Vector Control for Dengue in the age of Covid19, Vaccine hesitancy and rebuilding trust, Innovation for dengue control and also Climate Change and its impact on Dengue.

We were joined by Ministries of Health, NGO's, Academia and also Private sector and members of the public affected by dengue to highlight and explore these issues aswell as discuss the pressing need for an official World Dengue Day.

Here is the link to all 4 sessions; Dengue Side Meeting at UNGA75
