🌿 Protecting Our Communities: Understanding Arboviruses in Cuba

Practical advice from healthcare professionals in Cuba to help families prevent mosquito-borne illnesses.

Across Cuba, thousands of families are being affected by arboviruses - illnesses transmitted by mosquitoes, such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. These viruses spread quickly, especially during warmer and wetter months, but many cases can be prevented with simple, accessible measures.

Health professionals in Cuba have shared practical steps that everyone can follow, even when medical resources are limited. From safe fever management to natural repellents, these small actions can make a big difference in protecting your family and community.

At A Lot of Love For Cuba, we believe that access to accurate health information saves lives. That’s why we’ve created clear, easy-to-follow resources — available in both English and Spanish — to help communities understand, prevent, and respond to mosquito-borne illnesses.
