El Callao (Peru), 06/04/2016, Sr. Luz Maribel Burgos Ugaz.- Sr. Maribel, coordinator of the Sanitary Prevention and control center for Tuberculosis of St. Joseph’s Hospital in El Callao, works with a multidisciplinary team integrated by a neurologist, a nurse, a psychiatrist, a social worker, a dietitian, a pharmacist and several technical nursing personnel. I am convinced that to preserve the health of those persons affected by TBC is a must. They have to be treated in a humanitary way. To learn from their experiences is for me a great richness, because these vulnerable persons often suffer also from social exclusion.
