Importance of investing in TB screening and preventive treatment

Even though TB is a curable disease, it still causes 1.3 million deaths each year and affects millions more, with enormous impacts on families and communities. While global efforts to combat TB have saved an estimated 75 million lives since the year 2000, it is essential to make crucial public health investments to address the needs of vulnerable populations and achieve the End TB targets.

According to the WHO investment report, implementing TB screening plus preventive treatment can substantially reduce TB incidence and mortality. WHO urges investments for the scale-up of tuberculosis screening and preventive treatment. As a procurement services agent and 4PL services provider, PFSCM is committed to playing its part in ensuring that quality-assured TB products and diagnostic services reach those in need.
