Africa: Tuberculosis - MSF Launches Unprecedented Project to Tackle Underdiagnosis Among Children

[MSF] Tuberculosis (TB) in children is a silent scourge: one child dies of TB every three minutes and more than half of all children with TB are never diagnosed. Taking the opportunity of a set of new recommendations by the World Health Organisation (WHO), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has launched a worldwide project aiming to increase the number of children diagnosed with TB as well as improve their treatment experience and prevent new cases.
