According to experts, a nationwide program against tuberculosis has been implemented in Cuba since 1962.

Cuba's strategy consists of preventive actions and community educational festivals.

Experts recalled that without an appropriate treatment, TB patients can infect an average of one person a month.

Considered a world health problem, tuberculosis mainly affects senior citizens, undernourished people, alcoholics and those who have weak immune systems.
