Consider This: Public Health - Tackling Dengue Through Collaboration

Despite some 400 million infections globally annually, there’s still no specific treatment for dengue.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis, Melisa Idris speaks to Jean-Michel Piedagnel, Datuk Dr Zulkifli Ismail, and Dr Ami Fazlin Syed Mohamed.
