ARGENTINA WILL TEST A SHORTER TREATMENT BASED ON BENZNIDAZOLE TO IMPROVE COVERAGE FOR PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CHAGAS

In this late phase of the investigation, researchers aim for a new regimen that would cause a significant reduction on the time the treatment is aplied to patients.

31 August 2021

The first phases of these studies took place in Bolivia, during 2016 and 2018, using this regime with numerous patients. The result shows its effectiveness, which opens a door to a treatment with many benefits for the affected population. With a shorter regimen of treatment, the professionals would diminish the adverse effects on patients, modify the adherence to it and increase coverage and access among the affected population.

BEATCHAGAS PLATFORM

Channel used to communicate and share information, education and communication tools related to the problem of Chagas.

27 September 2022

The BeatChagas Platform is the channel used by the Technical Group No. 6 in Information, Education and Communication (*TG6IEC-Chagas*) of the WHO Chagas Programme to communicate and share information, education and communication (IEC) tools related to the problem of Chagas.

It contains various information, educational and communication materials developed or selected by WG6 to support the achievement of the objectives and implementation of the World Health Organization (WHO) activities in the field of surveillance, prevention and control of Chagas disease in the world. It is also a space where other information and calls that may be of interest and use to anyone related to the topic are shared.

Through the platform, we hope to generate a space for exchange and reflection, far beyond the biomedical aspects of this multidimensional problem, against which the three IEC axes become indispensable.
