CA-3-A033640001 2026-07-16T06:32:50 The project's objective is to improve the health conditions of the rural population at risk of vector-transmitted diseases through support to the Honduran National Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Chagas Disease and Leishmaniasis. The purpose is to support reduction or elimination of the transmission of Chagas and Leishmaniasis diseases and to facilitate access to necessary treatment for vulnerable, priority populations. In coordination with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Global Affairs Canada provides technical and financial support to the Honduran Ministry of Health in the implementation of its Strategy, while at the same time, it develops the Ministry's institutional capacity to manage its vector-borne disease programs as a whole.

Results achieved by the Honduran Ministry of Health with the support of the Government of Canada as of March 2017: (1) the fumigation of 487,133 households to eliminate vector insects carriers of Chagas and Leishmaniosis diseases; (2) 281 communities implemented surveillance systems for Chagas and Leishmaniosis diseases; (3) 28,606 pregnant women in high endemic areas for Chagas disease were screened for this disease; (4) no reported infestation of the Rhodnius prolixus vector, marking it the sixth consecutive year of being free of this vector across Honduras.
