Tropical Health

Tropical health focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases common in warm, humid regions like Africa, Asia, and parts of Latin America. These areas often face illnesses such as malaria, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, and cholera, which are influenced by climate, environment, and limited healthcare access. The field also addresses issues like malnutrition and maternal health, aiming to improve overall wellbeing. Efforts include vector control, vaccination programs, health education, and strengthening healthcare systems to reduce disease burden and enhance quality of life in tropical communities.
