As the world commemorates World TB Day – a day to educate the public about tuberculosis (TB) and celebrate the milestones reached in treating and eradicating the bacterial disease – some health facilities say are struggling to locate defaulting patients.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile said the treatment of the disease was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which made it important to ramp up the campaigns.
India's ideology of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam" is giving the modern world an integrated vision and solutions, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday as he launched a series of initiatives to eliminate tuberculosis.
TB will likely kill more people in low- and middle- income countries in 2023 than COVID-19. Yet it attracts a tiny fraction of the political attention and financial resources we’ve deployed against the new virus.
