"The number of TB diagnoses has decreased during COVID," said Head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office in Azerbaijan Hande Harmanci at the international conference dedicated to World TB Day.
According to her, tuberculosis is no longer a technical issue:
"We have vaccines and medicines to fight tuberculosis. All is needed to cooperate and share experiences. Unlike COVID, TB can be controlled. We are ready to revise the work done in Azerbaijan on the control of tuberculosis and the legislation on this disease," she stated
