Guidelines for Social Mobilization:
A Human Rights Approach to Tuberculosis
WHO, 2001
This guide examines the human rights
dimensions of issues affecting people's
vulnerability to contracting TB and their
access to TB cure. It looks at
specific groups and settings where people are
particularly vulnerable to TB
and its impacts; and where, if they become
sick with TB, are limited in
their access to treatment - limitations
created by stigma, lack of adequate
information, and inadequate resource
allocations to those most in need.
