Headline Tuberculosis in the WHO African region

Description The surge of people from country to town, unemployment, poor housing and overcrowding, malnutrition… Africa had to contend with the conditions that, in other parts of the world too, helped perpetuate the scourge of tuberculosis. This disease remained one of the major problems facing health services. Assisted by WHO, several African governments made great efforts to find out how serious the problem of TB was. It was beyond doubt one of the most important diseases in Africa and was even considered to be the most important by several authorities. WHO pilot projects and surveys were carried out to find the groups in the population with the highest rates of tuberculosis and to see which would be the most effective TB control method. In Africa, the population was mostly rural and, in some countries, mobile teams were trained to detect TB, to vaccinate against it and to treat patients if necessary.

At the TB Chemotherapy Centre Laboratory in Nairobi, Kenya, trainees learn to repair X-ray equipment under the supervision of WHO X-ray technician Mr van Hoegaerden (Belgium).
