“Basically a PR exercise…”
Background Dengue cases are increasing despite continued efforts to control its vectors, with the Asia-Pacific region projected to bear a substantial proportion of the global burden.

Health systems affect…

We conducted 47 semi-structured interviews with experts working in sexual and reproductive health in 12 countries in the region. We analysed data thematically, using the socio-ecological fr…
