Malawi is one of the four participating countries and the others are Lesotho, Mozambique and Zambia. The project is important for the region as Southern Africa contributes significantly to the global burden of TB. A highly preventable and curable disease, the communicable disease is claiming a lot of lives. Southern Africa also has some of the highest TB/HIV co-infection rates in the world, which is tricky to treat; and there is an increasing threat of the Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) to the sub-region’s health and development gains. In addition the region faces the challenges of a disease burden tied to movement within and across borders among miners. Drivers of TB in mining among others include poor accommodation facilities, poor nutrition, poor ventilation and dust in the mines. |
