Difficulty: Intermediate

France

La tuberculose reste une maladie mortelle -elle touche neuf millions de personnes chaque année, et tue une personne toutes les quinze secondes. Le récent développement de souches de bactéries résistantes aux médicaments rend la tuberculose encore plus menaçante. Les zones les plus affectées sont celles qui manquent de moyens efficaces pour lutter contre cette maladie, comme l’Ukraine, l’Ouzbékistan, et beaucoup de régions d’Afrique. Selon l’OMS, cinq milliards de dollars seraient nécessaires pour combattre effectivement cette maladie.
