EARLY DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND FOLLOW-UP

#WorldChagasDay #Chagas

World Chagas Disease Day is observed annually on April 14 to increase awareness about this neglected disease. It is considered neglected because it receives little attention on the public health agenda. The World Health Assembly at WHO approved and endorsed on May 2019, with the first celebration held on April 14, 2020.
World Chagas Day aims to raise awareness of Chagas disease, improve early detection, expand diagnostic coverage, and provide equitable access to clinical care.
Theme 2014: Early diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. Raise awareness among patients, their families and health workers about the need for early (timely) diagnosis and lifelong follow-up of people affected by the disease.
