The Mpumalanga Department of Health says it is moving towards the right direction in the fight against the pandemic. This comes after 50% reduction of the number of people who were diagnosed with TB between 2011 and 2018 in the province.

Speaking during the provincial World TB Day commemoration at Emalahleni, Health MEC Sasekani Manzini, says one of the challenges that they are faced with is that some people default from the treatment. For the past three years, the Ehlanzeni District has been recording the highest number of people infected with TB.

MEC for Health, Sasekani Manzini, says dedicated workers at the four TB Specialised hospitals in the province have played a crucial role to reduce the pandemic.“We have managed to make sure that all our facilities be it your clinic, be it your hospital all of them we are able to test all our patients in terms of TB.
