At Socios En Salud (SES), we continue to strengthen the technical capacities of civil society in the fight against social injustice. Therefore, this April we have scheduled a virtual training through the MONITOREA-TB project of our Advocacy and Community Outreach Unit.
The activity consists of three online sessions (called webinars), aimed at representatives of civil society organizations, tuberculosis (TB) survivors and people interested in the fight against this disease in the region.
This series of webinars is entitled “Introducing Latin American and Caribbean civil society to community-led monitoring focused on barriers to accessing TB health services, based on the UNHLM 2023 policy commitments and the CRG approach.”
