  • The World Health Organisation (WHO) has released its first global guidelines to treat arboviral diseases like dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever.
  • These diseases, spread by mosquitoes, are rising quickly due to climate change, global travel, and weak health systems.
  • Over 5.6 billion people are at risk of getting arboviral diseases, which often begin with fever, rash, and joint pain.
  • The new guidelines help doctors and nurses treat both mild and severe cases of arboviral diseases safely and correctly.
  • These clear steps aim to lower death and complications, especially where health resources are limited.
