This #WorldHealthDay, TB is still the deadliest infectious disease: 10.8M fell ill, and 1.25M died in 2023. Stigma, inequality & funding cuts are costing lives. We must invest in prevention, care & justice to #EndTB for everyone, everywhere.

South Africa plans to test 5 million people this year as part of its End TB campaign. Early detection of TB through widespread testing is key to achieving this goal, reducing TB deaths & making progress towards a TB-free future. Why do you think people are not testing for TB?

Men remain one of the largest groups of TB patients who don't seek care & are likely to die from TB, according to the SA National TB Register. Globally, men account for a higher number of untreated TB cases, with 50% of TB cases occurring among males and HIV-negative people.
