In 2023, 14,400 children contracted Tuberculosis, and 1,500 had a multi-drug-resistant strain of the infection. A total of 96,000 people contracted the disease in the same year as the Ministry of Health continues to put forward efforts to manage the disease. And as the assistant commissioner for TB and Leprosy Control, Dr. Stavia Turyahabwe explains, health workers are being encouraged to be keen while screening for TB including the use of stool for children below 5 years due to the difficult nature of diagnosing the infection. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition
