En Cuba esta lucha desde su surgimiento estuvo a cargo de entidades privadas con recursos insuficientes e inescrupulosamente manejados. El municipio Marianao, establecido desde 1878, cont車 con administraciones municipales que desarrollaron una pol赤tica negativa para los intereses populares, que propici車 la propagaci車n de la tuberculosis por causa de las p谷simas condiciones de vida y de trabajo de la poblaci車n. Despu谷s del triunfo revolucionario en 1959, en Cuba se estableci車 la lucha antituberculosa de forma sistem芍tica con el Programa Nacional de Control, que act迆a de forma descentralizada desde el nivel municipal. En el municipio Marianao la incidencia de tuberculosis hist車ricamente ha constituido un problema de salud, aunque la tendencia actual ha sido la disminuci車n y ocupa el lugar 13 de entre los 15 municipios de la provincia Ciudad de La Habana. A research on the fight against tuberculosis in Marianao municipality was made. In Cuba, this campaign since its beginning was in the hands of private entities with limited resources that were inscrupulously managed. The Marianao municipality, established in 1878, had municipal administrations that implemented negative policies for the people*s interests and propitiated the spreading of tuberculosis due to the terrible working and living conditions of the population. Since the triumph of the Revolution, in 1959, it was established in Cuba a systematic fight against tuberculosis with the introduction of the National Control Program that acts in a decentralized way from the municipal level. In this municipality, the incidence of tuberculosis has historically been a health problem, although at present there is a trend towards the decrease of this disease and it occupies the 13th place among the 15 municipalites of the province of Havana City. %K TUBERCULOSIS %K TUBERCULOSIS %U http://scielo.sld.cu/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0375-07602003000100013
