Egypt Holds Regional Training on TB and Respiratory Diseases for African Countries

Egypt’s Ministry of Health and Population has organised a specialised regional training programme focused on combating tuberculosis and respiratory diseases in African countries.

The programme was titled “Combating Tuberculosis, COVID-19 and Other Respiratory Infections for African Countries,” bringing these health challenges under a single training framework.

Its scope extended beyond tuberculosis to include COVID-19 and other respiratory infections, with an emphasis on disease control across the African region.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that most often affects the lungs. Alongside other respiratory infections, it remains an important focus for prevention, diagnosis and treatment efforts.
