Additional Information / Shotlist TB (Tuberculosis) is an infectious disease predominantly of the lungs, but it can also affect other parts of the body, including your bones and brain and other organs.

When I started feeling sick, it first paralyzed me. I stayed in the house and didn’t move.

I have spent one month and six days at this hospital. When I took my medication, my body has now recovered,

It’s not like when I came here.

MSF across several of our projects, we have, integrated TB, TB treatment in the, facilities that we, that that we run and during 2024, MSF treated, more than 2000, TB patients in its projects.

TB is difficult to diagnose in children because children are not like, adultst.. they don't cough on their own.

Some family members don't believe this is tuberculosis. they assume everyone should have a cough before you diagnose the tuberculosis.

in 2021, W.H.O. estimated that worldwide, there were 1.2 million children with TB and out of this, only 40% where, were diagnosed out of TB.

96% of children who die of TB have never been put on TB treatment.

tactic is a strategy that is, deployed by MSF, to increase the detection and treatment of TB in children.

We need to create a lot of awareness among the community to ensure that, people are aware of TB, what it is, how dangerous it is, and, how they can prevent themselves from getting TB.

I began experiencing this illness last year.
Last year in October. Then I was brought here.
When I came, I was given the drugs for TB. I've been taking them.

They are the ones I've been taking; even today, I've come to take those TB drugs.

The recent cuts in funding could have a drastic negative effect on the progress so far made, and halt or reverse the global targets set if TB programs are cut.
