Abstract
This report describes community-based tuberculosis care in Latin America, and field visits to selected community-based TB care projects to understand the origin, performance, acceptability, effectiveness, and sustainability of some existing DOTS projects. Three sites in Colombia and two in Bolivia, where the DOTS strategy is already implemented, were visited. The report demonstrates that lessons from a Latin American perspective on community-based TB care can help to understand and identify the role that the community plays in TB control in the region. This can be potentially relevant to other regions.Publisher:
