Medicine : WHO ISSUES NEW DATA ON GLOBAL TUBERCULOSIS EPIDEMIC
Posted by niccosan on 2007/3/15 2:00:00 (5106 reads)

24th March - World TB Day

Tuberculosis is one of the world's leading infectious killers - second only to HIV/AIDS. The 2007 WHO Global TB Control Report, issued Thursday 22 March 2007, updates the current trends on the airborne disease, with all the very latest data from nearly 200 countries.

In the wake of the newly identified extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), drug resistance and continuing challenges such as TB and HIV co-infection, the 2007 WHO Global TB Control Report underlines the major issues affecting TB patients, health workers and governments today. This year's report also highlights achievements in reaching global 2005 TB targets set by the World Health Assembly.

The launch coincides with World TB Day (24 March) and its theme: "TB Anywhere is TB Everywhere".

The WHO 2007 Global TB Control Report is released under embargo for Thursday 22 March 2007 (12:00 GMT) and will be launched with key speakers from WHO and the Stop TB Partnership in various cities. For full details of launch events please go to: www.stoptb.org/events/world_tb_day/2007/events.asp
