What is the goal for maintaining the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) related to dengue each year?

The goal for maintaining the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) related to dengue is set at less than 1%. This threshold reflects the commitment to effective clinical management and preventive strategies, ensuring that severe cases of dengue are identified early and treated appropriately.

A CFR of less than 1% signifies that the healthcare system is effectively managing the disease, minimizing deaths associated with severe dengue infections. Public health initiatives focus on increasing awareness, improving treatment protocols, and enhancing rapid response measures in order to achieve this target.

Setting a goal of less than 1% aligns with global health objectives to reduce mortality rates from infectious diseases, ultimately contributing to better outcomes for patients and communities affected by dengue.
