Chagas Disease


"I am 66 years old. I am a farmer and have lived in the countryside in Colombia all my life. 3 years ago I started getting more tired than normal. Then my feet swelled and finally I could not walk short distances..." Read Jorge's story:
Today, more than 100 years after the discovery of disease, there are between 6 and 7 million affected people and 7,000 who die annually. These deaths are preventable in their vast majority with an early diagnosis and with treatment.
