Sentence-Level Public Health Facts for Major Diseases from WHO & CDC

This dataset provides a comprehensive collection of over 100 unique, sentence-level public health facts drawn directly from official WHO and CDC fact sheets. Each entry—numbered and stored in JSON format—captures a single, self-contained statement about disease symptoms, causes, modes of transmission, or prevention measures for major global illnesses such as dengue, malaria, COVID-19, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, cholera, seasonal influenza, Zika virus, and more. All text blocks were programmatically extracted from <p> and <li> elements on the source pages, tokenized into sentences, filtered to remove navigational boilerplate, and de-duplicated to ensure clarity and precision.
