WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE?
All children who had contact with the Zika virus during pregnancy need long-term follow-up and care, not only those born with microcephaly.
Zika and other diseases can be better addressed when science, social movements, health, education and public policies work in partnership.
Fiocruz and researchers from all over the world insist on finding answers and solutions. It is necessary to invest more in health care, follow-up studies of children and the development of diagnostic tests, vaccines and medicines.
Zika showcases inequalities. Facing it properly depends on guaranteeing social rights, strengthening the health system, science, inclusive education, fighting poverty, basic sanitation, and accessible public transportation.
Scientists, managers and women who are representatives of social movements have written a Letter of Recommendations on what still left to be done.
