– Nigeria’s fight against tuberculosis
– TB eradication strategies in Africa
– Public health funding for infectious diseases
Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating tuberculosis (TB) by 2030, with stakeholders intensifying efforts to combat the disease. A significant boost came as a group donated ₦1 billion to support TB diagnosis, treatment, and prevention programs across the country.
The government, in collaboration with health organizations, is ramping up awareness campaigns, improving access to healthcare facilities, and ensuring that treatment is readily available for those affected. Experts emphasize that sustained funding, early detection, and community engagement are key to achieving the 2030 target.
This initiative aligns with global efforts to eradicate TB, a disease that remains a major public health concern in Nigeria. With increased funding and strategic interventions, stakeholders remain hopeful that the country can significantly reduce TB cases and deaths.
