The economic burden associated with the disease has stressed healthcare systems in several countries. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has already strained healthcare workers, causing mental health issues and burnout. To effectively address the dengue fever epidemic, governments must invest in strengthening healthcare infrastructure, increase healthcare workers&#39; knowledge and salaries, and implement resilience-building interventions. Vaccination and preventive measures are crucial in reducing the disease burden and alleviating the pressure on healthcare systems, ensuring better preparedness and support for healthcare staff.</span></span></span></span></div> Dengue fever, Healthcare staff, Health systems, Positive interventions, 177 178 http://jhehp.zums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-637-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Reza Kalantari dr.r.kalantari@zums.ac.ir 100319475328460015711 100319475328460015711 Yes Department of Occupational Health Engineering, Faculty of Public Health, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan, Iran.
