QC records over 5K dengue cases in nine months
Quezon City's health department reported over 5,500 dengue cases and 24 related deaths in the first nine months of the year. Although the cumulative number is lower than the previous year, a recent surge in cases, particularly among children, has raised concerns.
Why it matters
The ongoing high number of dengue cases, despite a year-on-year decrease, indicates a persistent public health challenge in Quezon City, requiring continued vigilance and public health interventions to prevent further spread and fatalities.
