The Pan-American Heath Organisation has made recommendations to the government on how to best control and eliminate the dengue outbreak in the Bahamas.
PAHO representatives have been in New Providence for about two weeks working with officials from the ministries of the environment and health to map out the way forward.
Dr Gerry Eykemans, PAHO representative for the Bahamas, said we are not alone in the fight against dengue fever – there are currently ten other Caribbean countries with dengue fever outbreaks.
