Why TB?Annually 9 million new cases and 1.7 million
deaths
from a preventable and curable disease
Acts as a barrier to development by
impeding progress towards other issues
such as education and poverty
Kills more women than all other causes of maternal mortality
combined
Leading cause of death for people living with HIV in
Africa
Neglected issue - considered a disease
of the past
