Este analisis publicada de la Revista Panamericana de Salud Pública determina el comportamiento de los indicadores de incidencia de tuberculosis (TB) y número de muertes por TB en el marco de la meta 3.3 de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) ...y su correlación con los determinantes sociales. Al ritmo de la disminución actual de la tasa de incidencia y del número de muertes por TB, la Región de las Américas no alcanzará las metas propuestas en los ODS y en la Estrategia Fin de la TB. Se requiere una implementación y expansión rápidas de las intervenciones en prevención y control de TB para lograrlo. Esto implica, entre otras acciones, reducir las barreras de acceso al diagnóstico y tratamiento y fortalecer las iniciativas para abordar los determinantes sociales.

Au regard de l’importance de la recherche dans la promotion de la santé des
populations, le Ministère de la Santé a créé en son sein, depuis avril 2005, la
Direction de la Recherche en Santé (DRS) dont le rôle est d’orienter, de coordonner
et d’évaluer les activités de recherche da...ns le domaine de la santé. Pour permettre à

de recherche en santé au Bénin pour la période de 2010 à 2014.
