Somaliland experienced a large dengue fever outbreak in 2023-2024, with 4,971 probable cases, 1,703 confirmed by rapid tests, and three deaths. Reported cases spanned five regions, with 74% in Marodijeh. We highlight the utility of the new laboratory surveillance and the need for mitigating dengue risks amid climatic fluctuations.
