Abstract

In order to apply the recommendations of the French High Council on Public Health (CSHPF), the association "Médecins du Monde" and the departmental centre for the fight against tuberculosis led; in 2010-2011, two campaigns for on-site screening, in Marseille, with Roma families in situations of precariousness. These campaigns came up against a number of difficulties which must be addressed in order to make them more effective.
