Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB), despite its treatability, remains a global threat to public health, concentrating among socially vulnerable groups of the population. Traditional vertical TB programs are often ineffective for such groups due to a complex of medical, social, and economic barriers. This review examines the evolution of the paradigm towards a multidisciplinary approach (MDP), which integrates the efforts of clinicians, epidemiologists, social workers, psychologists, lawyers, and community representatives. It has been proven that MDP increases detection, adherence to treatment, and overall outcomes, contributing to the achievement of WHO's TB Strategy goals.
