Currently, the World Health Organization and Higher Medical Education orient their educational, research and service activities to the priority needs in their community, region and / or nation. Consequently, professors and researchers recognize the need to be involved in the fourth world strategy of the World Health Organization, called End to Tuberculosis (2015-2035), and introduce a proposal aimed at designing a system of awareness raising on tuberculosis, in order to encourage the social responsibility of professors in this regard. The impact of its expected results will be of educational and social nature, since it contributes to the awareness of professors in facing the phenomenon of tuberculosis, and consequently, to the training of professionals with a high-profile graduation profile, in accordance with the requirements of the historical moment in which Ecuadorian society is located, and the Higher Education System in Ecuador.

Palabras clave : Social responsability; universities; tuberculosis.
