Snapshot of MSF Ebola medical activities in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone
El desarrollo, desde 1991, de las Iniciativas Subregionales de Control de la Enfermedad de Chagas, y los avances de conocimiento en materia de diagnóstico y manejo de la infección/enfermedad de Chagas, llevan a la necesidad ética, y operativamente imperiosa, de estructurar el diagnóstico, atenci

ón y tratamiento de esta afección.
Una situación particularmente delicada, preocupante y alarmante, se constituye por la escasa einequitativa disponibilidad de los limitados recursos terapéuticos, actualmente disponibles, para el tratamiento etiológico de Chagas, en la mayor parte de los países endémicos de América.
En esta situación, se propone el desarrollo de la Consulta técnica regional OPS/MSF sobre organización y estructura de la atención médica del enfermo e infectado por Trypanosoma cruzi (enfermedad de Chagas), con los objetivos de:
- definir el alcance y estructura de la atención médica al paciente, tanto en diagnóstico, manejo como tratamiento;
- desarrollar modelos alternativos y optativos de atención, asimilables a las estructurassanitarias de los países;
- delinear la atención del chagásico, según su momento biológico-patológico evolutivo,dentro de los niveles de complejidad de la atención médica;
- establecer consideraciones sobre la atención pediátrica, materno-infantil, transfusional y mayor complejidad;
- definir las necesidades y alcances del diagnóstico de la enfermedad;
- establecer los alcances y facilidades que, dentro de los sistemas de atención, deben poseer estos pacientes;
- definir el panorama total de disponibilidad y accesibilidad de los pacientes al tratamiento etiológico de esta dolencia;
- proyectar conceptos y concepciones marco sobre el costo, impacto y efectividad del
desarrollo de este componente de morbilidad y atención en enfermedad de Chagas; y
- establecer las necesidades de investigación operativa y de gestión para avanzar en el
desarrollo de la atención médica a este grupo de pacientes.
Esta consulta, desarrollada en la ciudad de Montevideo, el 13 y 14 de octubre de 2005, pretende marcar la elaboración de una guía conceptual para comentarla y diseminarla en el año 2006, desde las cinco Iniciativas Intergubernamentales Subregionales de Control de Enfermedad de Chagas.

There is a wide range of literature and background information available for this purpose in the references and in the list of extra reading
