The cure of infectious diseases is one of the great societal challenges of today and, to achieve a reduction in the morbidity of affected persons, or to try to alleviate their symptoms, it is necessary for the healthcare professional to have a solid grasp of the subject, adjusted to the latest developments. Regardless of their place of work, any physician may encounter patients with an infection that originated in another country, since the advance of tourism has caused citizens to travel all around the world without necessarily taking the recommended precautions.

Malaria and tuberculosis are among the most prevalent infectious diseases worldwide. The former is endemic in more than 100 countries and the objective is to reduce mortality by at least 20% over that observed in 2005. For its part, tuberculosis accounts for about 8 million anual new cases and more than 1 million deaths. All this is even more alarming if we take into account all the new infectious diseases that have emerged in the last 20 years, which display epidemic behavior. 

For this reason, it is essential for healthcare professionals to be aware of the new treatments for the different types of infections, even those that are more infrequent or unknown. This postgraduate certificate will delve into understanding the necessary vaccinations for international travel, health control measures and fever cases in tourists upon their return.
