The observance of World TB Day highlights the urgent need for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and preventive measures. As a government, we will continue to improve on our health care policies to give the citizenry the best while we will continue to engage our communities in sensitization and awareness.

As the theme for this year stipulates " Yes we can overcome TB! ", indeed, we shall overcome.
