Break Dengue
What is it?
Break Dengue is an open platform to all: scientists, health-care providers, patients and relatives, journalists, industry and anyone concerned about the problem of dengue. Dengue is the fastest-growing vector-borne infection with estimated 390 million infections every year.
DESPITE THIS, DENGUE GETS LITTLE ATTENTION
ON THE GLOBAL PUBLIC HEALTH AGENDA.
Efforts tend to be isolated, short-lived and limited to certain sectors or geographies.
Break Dengue is a non-profit organization that aims to connect different initiatives around the world that are addressing the issue of dengue so that together they can have a bigger impact.
Let us break the silence and help dengue sufferers be heard about the need to make this a priority.
How does it work?
It takes more than one person, one government, or one organization to combat dengue. By joining forces, we can make a difference to the lives of millions of people.
Break Dengue is committed to enabling actors in the fight against dengue by taking the right actions.

- Educates
By giving those on the ground a voice, demonstrating the need for urgent measures against the disease. By sharing best practices to empower other stakeholders in other parts of the globe. - Acts
