Tuberculosis, which is considered a contagious disease, can affect every part of the body, usually in the lungs. It is often produced and produced about 10 thousand cases per year in the country. In La Pampa there are between 40 and 50 cases annually.

Estrella confirmed that this is yet another example. "We are working in an articulated manner with the institution. We went to talk with the staff, gave us studies on patient contacts that are already in the treatment and are in good shape. We supervise the treatment, we study articulation with those who have more than four hours a day. you can isolate the contacts of a sick person, you can go to work, "he explained.
