DengChamps: Jayne Toulson Burke

In this special international episode, host Dafydd Green explores dengue advocacy through a deeply personal lens. Joining us is Dr. Agnelo Fernandes MBE FRCGP, a GP with 38 years of medical experience in multicultural South London, and Jayne Toulson Burke from Greater Manchester - a mother whose son Bob's story became a powerful catalyst for dengue awareness. Jayne, a teaching assistant and mother of three, shares how her family's experience transformed her into an extraordinary advocate whose work challenges conventional approaches to dengue awareness. This episode brings together voices from the UK and dengue-endemic regions to examine how personal stories drive scientific progress and global health advocacy. Listen as we explore the intersection of local medicine, international health challenges, and the power of maternal advocacy in the fight against dengue.

DengChamps: Marianne Comparet, Director of the International Society of Neglected Tropical Diseases (ISNTD)

What does it take to build a global movement around diseases most people have never heard of — and why does it matter more than ever today?
