Project description

This project introduces a digital dashboard in Cuba to track and predict dengue outbreaks, replacing slow paper-based reporting. Health workers will use real-time data to respond faster and plan better. The pilot in Cienfuegos will guide expansion across Cuba and explore adaptation in Suriname, strengthening local tools for protecting communities from mosquito-borne diseases.
