Every year on April 14th, World Chagas Disease Day is observed to raise awareness about a life-threatening illness that can cause severe heart and digestive problems.
The disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, silent disease, or silenced disease, is caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, which is transmitted to humans by the triatomine bug, commonly known as the kissing bug.
The disease primarily affects individuals living in rural areas with poor hygiene conditions, particularly those who are impoverished.
It is more common in regions like Central America, Mexico, and South America.
The theme for 2023 is ‘Time to integrate Chagas disease into primary health care’, so that universal care and surveillance start at the most decentralized level of the health system.
