Diseases in the Caribbean region constitute a multifaceted array of health issues that impact the diverse countries and territories within its bounds. The Caribbean's tropical climate, tourism-driven economies, and interconnectivity contribute to a complex health landscape. This landscape is characterized by a mix of communicable and non-communicable diseases, each with its own challenges and implications for individuals and communities.
Among the most notable diseases in the Caribbean are vector-borne illnesses such as dengue fever and chikungunya. These diseases, transmitted by mosquitoes, can lead to high fever, joint pain, and other debilitating symptoms. Due to the warm and humid environment, mosquito populations thrive, making effective vector control and public health campaigns vital in preventing outbreaks.
