Honduras: Interinstitutional push to curb dengue amid capital water emergency

Honduran Central District mayor Juan Diego Zelaya convened an interinstitutional committee to prevent a dengue outbreak as the capital's water emergency heightens health risks. The move signals an escalation of public-health preparedness, though the scale of the water crisis and current dengue caseload remain unspecified. This matters because water shortages in Tegucigalpa can accelerate vector-borne disease spread, straining an already vulnerable health system.
