ABSTRACT
Background:
95% confidence interval (CI): 0.9898-0.9958) of Hiv, 6.02% (IRR: 0.9938; CI:0.9926-0.9951) of tuberculosis, 16.60% of malaria (IRR: 0.9820; CI: 0.9787-0.9853) and 1.88% (IRR: 0.9981; CI: 0.9972-0.9990) of NTD; and reductions of 3.15% of Hiv/Aids-related mortality rates (IRR: 0.9968; CI: 0.9952-0.9985), 1.88% (IRR: 0.9981; CI: 0.9969-0.9993) of tuberculosis, 19.20% (IRR: 0.9789; CI:0.9757-0.9821) of malaria, and 1.29% (IRR: 0.9987; CI:0.9859-0.9916) of NTD-related mortality.
Conclusion:
Our findings suggest that Social Assistance should be part of any strategy of health policies fighting the diseases analyzed. We highlight that Social Assistance Programs may have effects on health, direct and indirectly via poverty alleviation. Thus, Social Assistance should be a tool in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, which advocates the end of Aids, Tuberculosis, Malaria and NTD by 2030.
