Description
Summary:Despite the progress made in the last years, the Tuberculosis remains a relevant public health problem in many geographic areas of the world. Tuberculosis is the paradigm of infectious disease with a high social component, and in its approach, measures aimed at reducing poverty, economic inequality and the integration of the most vulnerable groups cannot be ignored. Therefore, solidarity and social justice are terms associated with the control of this disease. The TBS Network, made up of various institutions born from civil society, tries to inform society and professionals about aspects of tuberculosis prevention, control, diagnosis, treatment and investigation, trying to avoid the stigma that still accompanies many patients. Among the activities organized by the TBS Network are, among others, the Solidarity Cinema Forum (in prisons, Cruz Roja premises and NGOs), Informa TB and Update Days. A pesar de los avances obtenidos en los últimos años, la tuberculosis sigue siendo un problema relevante de salud pública en muchas zonas geográficas del mundo. La tuberculosis es el paradigma de enfermedad infecciosa con un alto componente social, y en su abordaje no pueden soslayarse las medidas tendentes a disminuir la pobreza, las desigualdades económicas y la integración de los colectivos más vulnerables. Por ello, la solidaridad y la justicia social son términos asociados al control de esta enfermedad. La Red TBS, integrada por diversas instituciones nacidas de la sociedad civil, intenta informar a la sociedad y a los profesionales sobre aspectos de prevención, control, diagnóstico, tratamiento e investigación de la tuberculosis, intentando evitar el estigma que acompaña todavía a muchos pacientes. Entre las actividades que organiza la Red TBS se encuentran, entre otras, el Cinefórum Solidario (en prisiones, locales de Cruz Roja y ONGs), Informa TB y Jornadas de Actualización.
