She said, “Additional investments in tuberculosis and non-communicable diseases will be needed from the domestic source. “We, from our side as WHO, will use all the additional advocacy to attracting these resources and provide all the needed technical support for the country. “It is an old disease but still number one infectious killer disease in the world with 1. 5 million deaths annually.The President of the Senate, appealed to the United Nations and the World Health Organisation to lend their support to the Nigerian government towards ensuring the eradication of tuberculosis in the country.

Lawan said the statistics in which Nigeria was ranked number one in Africa in terms of tuberculosis infection rate was not good enough.“We have to do a lot of work, and I want to take this opportunity to request that you help us attend to these issues while we continue to keep the health sector and try to see how much more of investment we can make as a country.”All rights reserved.
