World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned of a surge in Tuberculosis (TB) cases in the African continent following a radical stop order by the U.S.
government stopping foreign aid.
Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, Acting WHO Regional Director for Africa, said though most programs have been affected by the order, the hit of TB is already being felt, and is likely to result in a spike of cases and death.
The Stop TB Partnership, an organisation dedicated to TB prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in Kenya and African continent, has been significantly affected by the funding cut initiated by U.S.
