This lecture was developed as part of HTWB’s Pakistan Flood Response, a program which aims to support communities and clinicians in Pakistan impacted by devastating floods in 2022.
​
The program was launched in partnership with the National Institute of Kidney & Urological Diseases (NIKUD) Research Hospital at the University of Karachi, Pakistan. This lecture discusses diagnostic and treatment considerations for dengue fever and malaria, mosquito-borne illnesses that commonly arise in the setting of emergent floods in resource-limited and austere environments globally.
