Dengue Outbreak: A Race to Save Lives
In 2024, the Americas faced the worst dengue fever outbreak on record — with over 13 million reported cases and more than 8,000 lives lost.
To help stop the spread, the European Union provided €1.5 million in humanitarian aid to support the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and national health authorities in the most affected countries.
Follow how PAHO teams and local partners took action on the ground: from training health workers and distributing medical supplies, to tracking cases and eliminating mosquito breeding sites.
