Help Stop TB
Scientists at Centenary Institute are part of a global collaborative effort to Help Stop TB. This strategic effort seeks to stimulate, support and expand tuberculosis research so that these committed scientists can eradicate this deadly infectious disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared TB a global health emergency.
-
Two billion people carry the TB bacteria
-
Someone dies of TB every 20 seconds
-
New strains of drug resistant TB have emerged which make treatment increasingly difficult and sometimes untreatable
-
TB is among the three main causes of death in women aged 15-44 years globally
The Centenary Institute joins the WHO and Stop TB Partnership in marking World TB Day 24 March to raise awareness of the impact TB has on hundreds of millions of people worldwide so we can Stop TB in its tracks.
Can We Stop TB in Our Lifetime? Together We Can.
