March 24 is the international day for fight against tuberculosis (TB).
Despite the efforts directed at control and prevention of the disease,
the desirable results have not been achieved. The rate of tuberculosis
continues to remain high all over the world. 9 million TB cases are
registered annually, 2 million of which die. The mortality rate from
TB has also increased. According to the coordinator of the national
program to fight TB Vahan Petrosyan, the implementation of the DOTS
strategy by the World Health Organization has raised the effectiveness
of the fight against the disease.
