Promote advocacy, social movillizations and synergies for primary attentions in health. Integrated Vector Management (IVM) Rational use of pesticides. Strengthen legislation and public policy Organización Panamericana De la Salud

17 Dengue in the Americas Support Requested Better Outbreak Responses Increase Clinical and patient care capacities to avoid deaths. New Entomology and Vector control strategies. Laboratory Diagnostics training/resources support New interventions on Social Communications Strengthen the environmental management and legislative aspects Extrasectorial partnerships (Industry, City Majors) Vaccine, Research and development Dengue control in Megacities Tires/plastics/solid waste disposition and recycling

18 Ideas to remember The dengue problem goes beyond Health Sector and the current response of prevention and control must not be sectorial, but global. The presence of macrofactors as determinants of disease transmission make necessary to promote and strengthen public policies that effectively operate on them. A strategy that integrates key disciplines in the prevention and control have the greatest impact on the disease and is necessary to put the vector in the center of this strategy. Even with the advent of a vaccine is needed to continue a vector control strategy, who may also transmit other diseases.
