- Dengue epidemics prompt emergency campaigns
Epidemics of dengue and its more serious form, dengue hemorrhagic fever, in El
Salvador and other countries have prompted emergency campaigns to control the
outbreaks, showing the fact that dengue is basically a problem of domestic
sanitation. PAHO is supporting the governments of El Salvador and other
countries affected by dengue, and has sent experts, supported the purchase of
insecticides and supplies in order to combat the mosquito Aedes aegypti,
carrier of the disease, and produced informative material for the affected
populations.

- MERCK DONATES $100,000 TO PAHO FOR CHILD HEALTH
This contribution will be used to support an initiative that PAHO is
undertaking with the First Ladies of the Americas entitled the Integrated
Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) program. According to PAHO's Director,
Dr. George Alleyne, "This donation by Merck will help to reduce child mortality
and improve the health status of the most vulnerable populations in rural
communities in selected Central American and Andean countries." The IMCI
Program, one of PAHO's highest priorities, is an effective, low-cost strategy
for improving the quality of child health and health care in health facilities,
households and communities that relies on simple public health interventions,
preventive measures taken at home, early diagnosis, effective treatment, and
strengthening health systems to reduce the risk and consequences of childhood
illness. Health personnel at all levels learn to quickly evaluate a child's
overall health status and determine if the child can be treated for diarrhea or
pneumonia or needs immediate hospitalization to save his life.
