New TB report

Congratulations to Myanmar as a photo of the TB prevalence survey graces the webpage announcing the new global tuberculosis report:

You can see an opportunity to colocate hypertension and tuberculosis care. Was the opportunity taken?

Though the news on Myanmar in the report itself is mixed.

The incidence decrease goal has been met. Good. But notification rates have not changed in fifteen years and over half of people with tuberculosis suffer catastrophic costs.

Onward,
