Humanitarian Project the project has a duration of 12 months, and will be carried out in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, capital of municipality of the Santa Cruz departament. 4 out of 20 health centers affiliated to the Chagas Departmental Program will be selected during year 1 of the project.

They may transmit it to their babies in more than one pregnancy.
