Core Tip	Given the escalating threat of dengue fever in Nepal, characterized by recurrent outbreaks exacerbated by climate change, prioritizing proactive measures is essential. Healthcare providers and policymakers should focus on bolstering the healthcare system, raising public awareness, and implementing effective vector control measures. Government initiatives, such as investing in research and fostering community engagement, are critical for early detection and prevention. By integrating climate resilience into public health strategies, Nepal can effectively mitigate the burden of dengue fever on its population and safeguard against future outbreaks.
