Elenoa, Tuvalu
People of the Western Pacific
"My son and my daughter were saying they feel nauseated, they feel weak. My son was vomiting.
I was sick too, I was very weak. I just stood up and I just tried to make myself strong so that I can bring them to the hospital.
The blood test was done and it confirmed that they got dengue.
During the dengue outbreak, the majority were children that were affected. In this hospital, some cases were admitted. We had two that died.
Luckily we were getting better and it was not getting worse."
