With the mosquito-borne dengue fever on the rise and eleven persons having died so far this year, some of those who were infected have spoken to Stabroek News about the severe symptoms they experienced and one has urged speedier attention for patients at public clinics
According to a release from the Ministry of Health, the virus has at last count infected 2169 persons with 239 persons hospitalized and 11 deaths.
As case numbers continue to soar in various regions of the country, persons who have now recovered are glad they’re able to tell their stories— enduring extensive hospital stays and battling the virus despite age or medical conditions.
