Dengue Fever
Dengue Fever continues to be a permanent cause for concern, particularly as cases have been rising in unprecedented numbers in Sri Lanka this year.
Dengue can strike anyone and is unpredictable but when a care leaver is affected they don’t normally have the same family safety net that others might take for granted.
