Premier of the North West Province, Mr Lazarus Kagiso Mokgosi, accompanied by the MEC for Health, Mr Sello Lehari, leaders of civil society and the private sector, will host the Provincial World TB Day event under the theme “Yes, You and I Can End TB”.
World TB Day, commemorated annually in March, aims to educate communities about the impact of tuberculosis (TB) and to outline the provincial government’s efforts to contribute towards the national target of reducing TB incidence and mortality by 2035.
In his address, Premier Mokgosi is expected to emphasise the need to strengthen the province’s response to TB by promoting early detection, improving treatment adherence and encouraging communities to work together with government and health stakeholders in the fight to eliminate TB.
