Worldwide, tuberculosis has reached epidemic proportions. An estimated one-third of the world's population is infected with the disease. It kills three million people each year, and more adults die from TB than from any other infectious disease. In April 1993, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global TB emergency. For many people, this crisis state is incomprehensible. Didn't we get rid of TB years ago?
在全球范围内,结核病已达到流行程度。据估计,全球三分之一的人口感染了这种疾病。它每年导致三百万人死亡,死于结核病的成年人比死于任何其他传染病的都多。1993年4月,世界卫生组织(WHO)宣布全球结核病紧急状态。对许多人来说,这种危机状况是难以理解的。难道我们几年前不是已经消灭结核病了吗?
