| TB Conference: Working as One |
EVENT : TB Conference: Working as One
DATE : 1 – 4 JULY 2008
VENUE : ICC DURBAN
DETAILS : South Africa will host a TB Conference from 1 - 4 July 2008 at ICC Durban with an overarching theme "Working as One". Tuberculosis continues to be a major problem in South Africa despite availability of medicine to cure the disease. More than 20 000 people die in South Africa on an annual basis from TB. The situation in South Africa has been further worsened by the emergence of multi drug and extensive drug resistant TB. One of the major challenges in South Africa is that systems to support TB patients whilst on treatment are very weak. TB treatment takes a long time; therefore it is important that structures are set up at community level, at the work place or in any place that is convenient for the patients whilst on treatment. It is due to these problems that the Foundation for Professional Development is organizing this conference to bring all partners, both in the public and private sector, community members and the civil society to discuss TB and to come up with solutions to combat TB. It is time that all South Africans unite to fight this disease and finally “WORK AS ONE”.
