ISSSTE Intensifies Dengue Prevention Measures in Mexico

The Mexican Institute of Social Security (ISSSTE) has strengthened its preventive measures against dengue, announcing intensified training for healthcare personnel and participation in the Second National Dengue Campaign. This comes as Mexico sees a rise in dengue cases, with 33,957 reported in 2024, compared to 29,810 at the end of 2023. The ISSSTE is urging the public to take precautions against mosquito bites, especially in endemic areas, and to seek medical attention promptly if experiencing symptoms. Experts emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, as dengue can range from mild fever to potentially life-threatening complications.
