Due to an alarming increase in cases of dengue fever in Honduras this year, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has launched an emergency intervention in Tegucigalpa, the capital, where the majority of cases have been reported. MSF is supporting local health services with a three-pronged approach that focuses on medical care, vector control, and community education.
