Why am I interested in Tuberculosis? Pakistan is facing severe economic instability due to financial crisis, natural disasters, uncertain political unrest of the country and other factors. In this scenario, we cannot bear the burden a day more because TB commonly destroys families where it is prevalent, with women bearing the brunt of the stigma of the disease. In TB-endemic regions, the burden of TB is greatest for women in their childbearing years. Over the next five years, without effective interventions, up to four million women will die from TB and 50 million children will be orphaned. Further, hundreds of thousands of children will die from TB over the same period. It is estimated that 250,000 children suffer from TB each year and 100,000 die. However, TB is notoriously difficult to diagnose in children and therefore many experts believe the pediatric burden of TB is even higher. What I am doing or planning to do for TB control? To work in a greater inter regional connectivity for promoting and reinforcing mutual cooperation through exchange of information and doing multidisciplinary research for the advancement of science, education, ethics and human development. |
