@chetempochefa Geniale il paragone di Serra tra il diritto legale di viaggio delle merci a livello globale rispetto alla assenza totale di diritto di viaggio degli esseri umani che provengono dalle parti più disagiate del mondo. Grazie.

La tubercolosi è una malattia prevenibile e curabile.
Tuttavia la mortalità nel 2020 è stata del 15%.
È importante fare azioni politiche, sanitarie, economiche congiunte per ridurre la diffusione e migliorare l'accesso alle cure.
