“…The PNCT has existed for two decades in the country, and its implantation in the municipal sphere offers challenges regarding the lack of professionals, the fragmentation of user assistance, the absence of planning and of activity evaluation. Evaluative studies carried out in Minas Gerais and Amazonas (Long et al, 2015;Yasin et al, 2015) corroborate this study presenting the same partial implantation found here.…”

“…Studies mention the main role of the nurse in the PHC regarding TB management, with roles in the assistance and training of health teams and in the evaluation of actions within the program, according to the PNCT recommendations (Yasin et al, 2015;Sousa, Baldoino,& Silva, 2016).…”

“…This is why the evaluation of the implantation of the PCT process is necessary, as a contribution for the control of this disease (Heufemann, Golçalves & Garnelo, 2013;Arakawa et al, 2017). Studies about the evaluation of programs to control this disease have been carried out in countries such as Canada (Long, Heffernan, Gao, Egedahl,&Talbot, 2015), the United States (Cass et al, 2013), and Turkey (Yasin, Biehl,& Erol, 2015).…”

The aim of this study is to analyze the level of implantation of the Tuberculosis Control Program in Primary Health Care in a medium-sized city. Normative evaluation study, with a quantitative approach, emphasizing the level of implantation of programs. The sample included 80 nurses and data collection took place from November 2017 to March 2018, using a questionnaire with 62 questions. To identify the level of implantation, the percentage of responses identified was distributed in four classifications: not implanted (from 0% to 25%); incipient (from 26% to 50%); partially implanted (from 51% to 75%) and implanted (from 76% to 100%). The Tuberculosis Control Program in the city was classified as partially implanted (62.85%). The dimensions Structure and Process were also evaluated as being in the same level (61.80% and 63.17%, respectively). The level of implantation of the program was classified as partially implanted, showing shortcomings with regard to the activities developed in the city. Health professionals are expected to make decisions to improve the program.

“…128 Innovative community-based solutions should be designed for undocumented migrants to overcome legal and administrative barriers for TB treatment and care as an integral part of national TB policies. 158 In prolonged conflict and disaster settings, TB detection and treatment policies for refugees and IDPs should be included in the health and humanitarian response, and strong partnerships built among national and international agencies serving these groups. 115,[159][160][161][162] Pillar Three: operational research Scaling up effective coverage and ending TB altogether will require intensified research and innovation-this is the third pillar of the End TB Strategy.…”

With nearly one billion migrants worldwide, migration is both a dynamic and a divisive phenomenon facing the world today. Migrants are a heterogeneous group, and the conditions surrounding migration pathways often pose risks to the physical, mental and social well-being of migrants, with certain subgroups being more vulnerable than others. Several determinants of health and tuberculosis (TB) interplay to increase the vulnerability of migrants to tuberculous infection, TB disease and poor treatment outcomes, making them a key population for TB. This article is the first in the State-of-the-Art series of the International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease on TB and migration. It provides an overview of migration trends, migration pathways and social determinants, and impact on TB. This article outlines a framework for the prevention and reduction of the TB burden among migrants, adapted from the World Health Organization's End TB Strategy, and in accordance with the Stop TB Partnership's Global Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda. The framework highlights the need for migrant-inclusive national TB plans, and calls for action across all three pillars of the End TB Strategy for migrant-sensitive care and prevention, bold intersectoral policies and systems supportive of migrants, and operational research. More research is needed on the TB burden and challenges faced by migrants and on the feasibility and effectiveness of approaches proposed here and the scaling up of models already underway. Political commitment at the highest national and international levels will be critical to intensify action for promoting the health of migrants on the road to achieving the end TB targets.

“…En cuanto a «accesibilidad geográfica», cuatro iniciativas aproximan los servicios a las comunidades migrantes. El programa de asistencia a personas con tuberculosis de Estambul contempló lugares estratégicos de tamizaje en centros clínicos cercanos a zonas de alta densidad de población migrante, visitas domiciliarias y contacto constante con los pacientes para incentivarlos a permanecer en la ciudad hasta el final de su tratamiento (21) . Además, el acceso ampliado a clínicas comunitarias de California incluye comunidades desatendidas para facilitar la atención a los MISI (22) .…”

La población migrante internacional en situación irregular (MISI) suele encontrarse en una condición de particular vulnerabilidad que impacta en su salud, y sumado a esto, enfrenta múltiples barreras que dificultan e incluso impiden su acceso a los servicios de salud. La presente revisión tiene por objetivo identificar y describir iniciativas que abordan el acceso a los servicios de salud en población MISI. Para ello, se realizó una revisión narrativa en PubMed, Embase, Health Systems Evidence, Cochrane, LILACS y Scielo entre julio y agosto de 2017. Se encontraron 787 artículos, de los cuales se incluyeron 26, los que dieron cuenta de 31 iniciativas. La mayoría de estas iniciativas se sitúan en América Septentrional (61%), Asia Sudoriental (10%) y Europa Septentrional (10%); se refieren mayoritariamente a servicios de nivel primario (48%) y terciario (52%), servicios de urgencia/emergencia (39%), brindan accesibilidad administrativa (65%) y financiera (45%), y responden a necesidades en la etapa de «destino» del proceso migratorio (97%). Se puede concluir que existen diversas iniciativas que abordan la problemática del acceso a los servicios de salud de la población MISI. No obstante, no se hallaron iniciativas dirigidas a la rehabilitación y salud sexual; contacto y calidad; perspectiva de género y competencia cultural en salud.
