The Health Organization says that necessary resistance, investigation and treatment services are collapsing, causing millions of people to risk.
The most affected zones are Africa, Southeast Asia and the West Pacific, as national TB programs here are mostly dependent on international assistance.
“Financial, political or operational barriers in TB services are catastrophic and often a serious consequence for millions of people worldwide,” said Tareza Kasayev, director of the WHO Global TB and Lung Health Program.
Last week, the UN Secretary -General Antonio Gouresh also expressed concern over the reduction of assistance in the health program, fearing that it could directly affect diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, malaria and cholera.
Injury
In the last two decades, more than 7.5 million people have been saved through global programs to address TB. Last year, about 36.5 million people died as a result of death.
The financial support provided by the US government has played an important role in this success. Each year the US provides about $ 20 to $ 25 million financial support, which is about one-fourth of the total international funds.
The United States is the largest bilateral donor in the fight against TB.
However, under the new executive order, the new exemption announced for 2021 may have a destructive impact on TB Karvai in at least five high-loving countries. 89 percent of American assistance was assigned to take care of patients in these countries.
This will have the most impact on Africa, where treatment and pruning treatment of staff can increase the rate of TB infection.
Heavier
Initial reports from TB affected countries show that already lack of financial institutions is weakening the necessary healthcare.
The most serious anxiety includes trimming health workers, barriers in drugs and supplies beams, the fall of data and observation systems and TB research and funding barriers.
Dr. Tareza Kasayeva warned, “If the action is not taken immediately, the progress that is achieved against TB will be in danger. Our collective response should be faster, strategic and fully wealthy so that the weak people can be protected and speed toward the end of TB.
Apply for instant action
The WHO has revisited the promise of supporting the government and the global partners in the fight against TB.
“In this challenging situation, in this challenging situation, the WHO is fully committed to cooperating in ensuring sustainable funds and integrated solutions to the worldwide partners to protect the health and welfare of the most sensitive people towards the national government, civil society and TB.”
