Targeted to nurses and other health professionals caring for MDR-TB patients within the community. The fifteen chapters of this guide are the result of the ten years of  experience of the nursing team of Socios En Salud Sucursal Perú (SES-Perú) who has largely contributed to the development and consolidation of the first community-based model of care for MDR-TB patients. In addition to the general clinical issues related to diagnosis and treatment of MDR-TB, emphasis has been put in the social and emotional aspects related to the disease and the comprehensive approach of the nursing team for the care of MDR-TB patients in the community. The leading role of the nurse in the DOTS-Plus team, in the development of human resources and in research are also discussed in detail. Each chapter develops a specific topic and includes a summary of the main issues related to the topic as well as examples of cases. Protocols and reporting-forms for the management of MDR-TB by the nursing team are included in the appendixes as well a list of organizations and links related to MDR-TB and community nursing. 

TB-MDRVenciendo la TB-MDR: 20 Testimonios de Expacientes con Tuberculosis Multidrogorresistente [Conquering MDR-TB: Stories of 20 former Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis Patients]
First edition. Peru, 2006.
Editors: Emma Rubin de Celis. Rocío Sapag
Authors: Rocío Valverde and SES Team of Nurses.
Published by Socios En Salud Sucursal Perú
16.0  x 21.0 cms - 178 pages (contains full color photos)
Price Outside Perú – US$ 15 (+ delivery charge)

This book describes the lives before, during and after treatment of 20 MDR TB patients who received support and accompaniment from Socios En Salud. The stories illustrate diverse emotions and experiences that, although they carry the indelible mark of the individuals telling them, also describe Peru’s unique culture as well as its social and economic situation—including the poverty and inequity found there. Although the stories show suffering, they also teach us creative strategies that enable us to go forward and prevent adversity from conquering us. The book is directed not only at health professionals and social scientists, but also at anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the illness and its determinants from a human, rather than biomedical perspective.
