Zimbabwe: TB 'out of control in Zimbabwe'

Tuberculosis (TB) and its drug resistant strain is out of control in Zimbabwe, advocacy organisations in the country have warned. With years of health system neglect, one of the most severe HIV epidemics in the world, and the stark social and economic conditions many of its people have to contend with, prevention and control of TB is increasingly desperate in the country, the groups said in a media statement released at the 38th Union World Conference on Lung Health being held in Cape Town.
