SUMMARY
TB is a devastating disease: It is the World´s No. 1 killer among curable, infectious diseases.
However, we have a proven method to STOP TB: DOTS.
To fight TB with DOTS, we have two measurable targets:
- Case detection is our main challenge.
For accelerating case detection we have thousands of allies: People who have been CURED.
If you know people who have been cured of TB or you have been cured yourself, you can help by:
- Coming forward or encouraging others to come forward.
- Becoming an ambassador for TB.
- Becoming a treatment partner.
If we achieve our target rates of detection and cure, 5.000.000 lives will be saved by 2010!!!
