A new study has identified India as the country most likely to experience the greatest long-term effects from chikungunya, a mosquito-borne disease that has spread rapidly in recent years.
According to the global analysis, more than 50 lakh people in India could be at risk of contracting chikungunya annually, placing a heavy burden on individuals and healthcare systems. The study highlights the urgent need for public health measures and increased preparedness to address the rising threat.
