South Africa will host a TB Conference from 1 - 4 July 2008 at ICC Durban with an overarching theme "Working as One".

Tuberculosis continues to be a major problem in our country despite availability of medicine to cure the disease. More than 20 000 people die in South Africa on an annual basis from TB. Dr. MatjiThe situation in South Africa has been further worsened by the emergence of multi drug and extensive drug resistant TB
One of the major challenges in our country is that systems to support TB patients whilst on treatment are very weak. TB treatment takes a long time; therefore it is important that structures are set up at community level, at the work place or in any place that is convenient for the patients whilst on treatment.
