@StellenboschUni @MRCza @SuMBHG @SUImmunology @SUhealthsci TB remains a major global health challenge. To eradicate it, we need better therapies, more advanced diagnostic tools, vaccines and strong health care system. We also need greater investments towards a holistic approach towards TB, that also includes social support for patients.
