RESUMEN
La tuberculosis es una enfermedad que ha acompañado a la humanidad desde sus inicios, y a pesar de existir tratamiento para la mayoría de los casos, es una de las enfermedades que incrementa la brecha de inequidad. Lamentablemente, los esfuerzos para combatir esta enfermedad no han sido en la mayoría de veces enfocados como una enfermedad social, haciendo que los esfuerzos y recursos no lleguen a la solución completa. Este articulo intenta plantear si un enfoque de Derechos Humanos colaboraría con los enfoques biomédicos y de salud pública para combatir la Tuberculosis.
ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is a disease affceting manking form very early ages, and despite the availability of appropriate therapy for most cases, it is a disease that increases the gap between the rich and the poor. Unfortunately, the efforts to fight this disease have not been focused on its socio-economic nature, leading these strategies and resources to fall short. This paper tries to show if an approach based on Human Rights is able to complement biomedical and public health measures in the fight against Tuberculosis.
