About the course

The social protection of people with syphilis, HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, tuberculosis, or Hansen's disease in situations of social vulnerability is the theme of this educational module, which contemplates from the recognition of social assistance and health actions, going through discussions about the evidence of social determinants in these infections and diseases, to the recognition of advocacy strategies, social protection, and community participation for the qualification of public policies. Acknowledging the extent of such a theme means paying attention to the social health needs of the population and the importance of bringing together professionals from interrelated areas for joint action.
