¿Y usted, cómo lo haría? El Programa de Tuberculosis de Médicos Sin Fronteras en Buenaventuras

There are several NGOs around the world whose main purpose is the private provision of public programs. Their actions are aimed to provide services to vulnerable populations where the government has constitutional responsibility to provide but fails to do so. This document describes this kind of intervention; a program for the drug resistant tuberculosis population in the municipality of Buenaventura, located in the Colombian state Valle del Cauca. The document answers retrospectively to the question: In a context without budget constraints, with people in high economic vulnerability, and amid serious problems of violence, how would you design, operate, and how much would cost a TB program for a multidrug resistant population?
