Venezuela - Tropical Diseases
Venezuela is in the grip of one of the worst outbreaks of tropical diseases in decades, and the response by public health authorities has been slow and inefficient, two non-governmental groups reported Tuesday.
In 2014, Venezuela had over 150,000 recorded cases of dengue, malaria, and Chikungunya, the report said.
The country also had 1.2 million fever episodes without a precise diagnoses.
The epidemic is one of the worst in 25 years, said former health minister Jose Felix Oletta.
