Premier Winde to launch multi-sectoral TB emergency response plan
On Wednesday, Premier Alan Winde will visit the Karl Bremer Hospital to launch a multi-sectoral emergency response plan to reduce the spread of Tuberculosis (TB) in the Western Cape. This follows an undertaking he made on World TB Day to report back within one month on our plan. This visit will be followed by a walkabout of the Men’s Health Centre for TB at Karl Bremer.
Recognizing the major impact which TB has on lives and jobs in our province, the Western Cape Government has led the development of an emergency response plan for TB, embracing some of the lessons learnt from its response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Premier Winde will be joined for the launch by the Minister of Health, Dr Nomafrench Mbombo and the Head of Health, Dr Keith Cloete, as well as the civil society partners who form part of the Premier’s Council on Aids and TB.
