Dear Phase 2 Students of Atılım Univ. Medical School
All medical students,
Medical residents in different branches
Allied health staff
General public and Media,
On 21st April 2025, we’ll conduct a 1 hour lecture on for
Phase 2 Students of Atılım Univ. Medical School with a subject of
Tuberculosis Epidemiology
TB can affect anyone!Regardless of age or sex.
The highest burden is in adult men, who accounted for 56% of all TB cases in 2020;
by comparison, adult women accounted for 33% and children for 11%.
The higher share of TB cases among men is consistent with evidence from national
TB prevalence surveys, which show that TB disease affects men more than women,
And that gaps in case detection and reporting are higher among men.
***
We have before us the opportunity to save the lives of millions, to preserve resources and to demonstrate the success of efforts to end TB, despite crises that come our way.
We must keep the momentum going to stop the spread of this preventable and curable disease and reach those affected with the care they need. We are running out of time the clock is ticking.
It’s time for urgent action to End TB.
