Peru Medical College warns El Niño to spike dengue, leptospirosis; urges health sector in response commission

The dean of Peru's Medical College warns that El Niño will increase dengue, leptospirosis, and other diseases, and calls for the Health sector to be included in the government commission preparing the response. This is a precautionary alert based on historical patterns, not a current outbreak report. The significance lies in potential strain on Peru's health system and the need for proactive resource allocation.
