BARCELONA INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

Chagas, a disease often described as being both silent and silenced, affects some 6 million people in the world, mostly from predominantly poor and vulnerable populations. The disease causes 12,000 deaths a year and is a major public health problem in endemic countries in Latin America and in countries that receive migrants from those areas. The most surprising aspect of the problem is that 99% of those affected are not being treated.
