The Ministry of Health with support from CIDRZ’s USAID TBLON project working with CITAM Plus hosted media professionals from different media houses in Lusaka for an engagement on tuberculosis (TB) as part of this year’s activities towards the World TB Day commemoration.

The world commemorates TB Day on March 24^th each year, to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social and economic consequences of TB, and to step up efforts to end the global TB epidemic.

CIDRZ recognises the crucial  role that the media plays in creating awareness and hence, this collaboration with the media to ensure correct information on TB is disseminated to the public.

Topics discussed included facts about TB, detection and treatment, childhood TB, TB prevention, common myths and misconceptions about TB, TB & HIV/ AIDS, and the impact of TB at different levels.
