Strengthening tuberculosis monitoring in Ecuador with an emphasis on vulnerable populations
Strengthening tuberculosis monitoring in Ecuador with an emphasis on vulnerable populations is an initiative carried out by the local chapter of the international CARE organization, funded by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, along with various civil society organizations and the Ecuadorian government. The initiative took place between 2011 and 2012 and sought to strengthen actions for the control of tuberculosis, TB / HIV, and resistant multidrug TB (MDR) in the framework of the Stop TB Strategy. In particular, efforts were made to facilitate the participation of people and communities - affected by tuberculosis - in various activities to reduce stigma and improve access to early diagnosis and timely treatment. About 8 500 000 people participated in the project. All of them from the following regions: Guayas, Manabí, Los Ríos, El Oro, Esmeraldas, Pichincha, Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Orellana and Sucumbíos.
