World TB Day

The medical students in Mexico will make a national campaign against TB, we will make stands in different parks in 15 cities, medical schools and organise 2 different kind of lectures and conferences, for medical students, thinking in know better this disease and learn how we can help, and the other-one for the general public, for learn how prevent it, how know when they are ill and understand that when somebody have this disease can heal him. Fortunately, our country have a free program against TB, but not all the people know that the diagnosis and treatment are free for all!

We will use the national vaccination campaign when almost all the medical schools in the country participate, and give leaflets to all the medical students who will vaccinate children for all the houses they will visit.

These activities will do on March, in the 22-27 week,  and our participate in the national vaccination campaign will be start at February 27.

We hope that more and more medical students know that we can make the difference when we make effort together!

Think global… act local!
