The World Chagas Disease Day is a day to raise awareness of Chagas disease and to call for better integration of the disease into primary health care. Chagas can cause serious problems in the heart, digestive system, and brain, and if not detected early, it can be fatal. UNITAID is working to prevent mother-to-child transmission of the disease and to improve access to affordable tests and treatments.
