A Quiet Pandemic: Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever

 Vorica Heimann

In a world filled with infectious diseases, some grab the headlines more than others. COVID-19, Ebola, and Zika have all captured the world's attention in recent years. But there's another deadly virus lurking in the shadows, one that deserves our urgent attention i.e. Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). CCHF is a viral disease with a mortality rate of up to 40%, making it one of the most lethal tick-borne illnesses known to humanity. Despite its devastating impact and the constant threat it poses to communities in endemic regions, it remains largely underreported and underfunded in the global fight against infectious diseases.
