Published purpose
The Prevention and Control of Priority Communicable Diseases (PCPCD) project is being implemented by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in collaboration with the Ministries of Health of Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. This project contributes to the prevention and control of communicable diseases that cause the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality among children, youth, and adults in South America. In children, these are diseases frequently affecting their health, diarrhoeal disease and acute respiratory infections. In youth and adults, these diseases are sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS, Chagas disease, and tuberculosis. The project also strengthens the capacity of institutions responsible for planning, managing, and delivering sustainable and comprehensive programs in the targeted countries for the prevention and control of the most prevalent communicable diseases.
