South Africa: Quality Tuberculosis Care Starts With People
[spotlight] The world is seeing tuberculosis (TB) deaths increase for the first time in over a decade, according to the World Health Organization's Global TB Report 2021. In 2020, 1.5 million people died of TB and the report estimates that almost 10 million people developed TB.
