Tuberculosis
What It’s Like to Be a Patient with Tuberculosis in Somalia?
Over 2.6 million people in Somalia have been displaced, forcing them to live in overcrowded camps where Tuberculosis spreads easily. Children, already vulnerable due to hunger and limited healthcare, face the highest risk. Many families undertake long and perilous journeys to access medical care. Sadly, only about 43% of Tuberculosis cases are detected, leaving many children without treatment. Moreover, while the preventative tuberculosis treatment is available, the uptake among the population is relatively low and the implementation of new shorter regimen is very slow.
