A discourse analysis of social inequities, gender, and stigma in tuberculosis policies of seven countries from Africa, Asia, Europe and South America
Explicit and implicit discourses about TB within health-related policies can influence the nature of attention given to the social dimensions of TB and can shape corresponding responses to the disease. We recommend a participative policy process that includes a broader set of actors to ensure documents are responsive to social realities.
