Tuberculosis in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations
During the 78th edition of the World Health Assembly, we are co-organizing an official side event on TB in Fragile and Conflict-Affected Situations together with World Vision International.
For people with tuberculosis (TB) in fragile and conflict-affected situations (FCAS), every journey to a clinic could be their last. Roads are blocked, homes are lost, and survival comes first. People with TB in FCAS are battling disease while displaced, hungry, and invisible. Their courage and resilience deserve more than silence.
