Dengue is endemic in Malaysia, and with over 100,000 cases annually, it’s not a disease that’s unfamiliar to most of us. But despite decades of countless warnings to take dengue seriously, do we actually? 

On this episode of Beyond The Diagnosis, we hear from two women, Bahwanee Muthusamy and Hawiah Azit, on how their own experiences after being hospitalised with dengue has changed their perspective on dengue and why prevention is crucial. We also hear from emergency medicine specialist Dr Lim Eu Jack. 

Beyond The Diagnosis is a series about people, going beyond the diagnosis to explore their personal experiences, their challenges, as well as the impact of their health condition on their loved ones. These stories reveal the importance of understanding the unique struggles and needs of the individuals behind the medical diagnosis.
