On behalf of the Pulmonology departments and Tuberculosis coordinators of Curacao Medical Center and Horacio Oduber Hospital Aruba, we are organizing the first regional Tuberculosis conference! Our goal is to improve awareness and interisland collaboration on this infamous disease.

Failure to recognize tuberculosis can quickly lead to major health issues in society. Knowledge and expertise are under pressure due to an expected decrease in the number of patients over the years. It is important that doctors and laboratories continue to guarantee their knowledge and quality in this field.

We have prepared an exciting program that will focus on recognizing the clinical picture of (latent) TB, treatment options, and pitfalls. Also, there will be involvement of complicated cases like extrapulmonary TB, patients using immunosuppressants, or patients co-infected with HIV. There will also be time for practical workshops, intercollegial networking, and asking questions to our (international) experts.

Learning goals

Target audience
GP’s, specialists in Infectiology-Pulmonology-Public Health, Public Health nurses, other interested Health Care workers

For attendance in person: a copy of the COVID-19 vaccination record or a negative PCR test (48 hrs prior to the conference) or Antigen test (24hrs prior to the conference) must be presented at the registration desk. 
For international participants, please follow the entry requirements published on the Gobiernu di Korsou website.
