Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health threat. One third of the world’s population carries the TB bacteria. 1.7 million people die from TB each year - someone dies of TB every 20 seconds. TB is preventable, treatable and curable but the increase in drug-resistant ‘super’ strains is a major threat. We are long way off from the elimination of TB but it will not go away until we understand this disease much better and develop new tools to control it.
