Não Vale TB
- Desde: 2021
- Contacto: naovaletb@apdes.pt
The Project Não Vale TB is a proximity team that intervenes in the subregion of Vale do Sousa and Baixo Tâmega, in the municipalities of Penafiel and Marco de Canaveses, seeking to contribute to the prevention, control and diagnosis of tuberculosis, as well as to the promotion of literacy and treatment adhering. The project is aimed at people in vulnerable situations – among which are alcohol and drug users, sex workers, homeless people, migrants and the unemployed. Through a network with the various entities of the community, it is intended to provide an adequate and individualized response to the needs of these populations, always focusing on a posture of trust and respect.
To complement this project, we also have a podcast in partnership with Rádio Clube de Penafiel, and with funding from DGS. An informative podcast on tuberculosis, with professionals in the area, which takes place on Thursdays, at 10:45 a.m. and 17:45 p.m.
You can listen to this podcast (only available in Portuguese), through the link: http://www.radioclube-penafiel.pt/?it=podcast
