Fewer TB Cases Recorded by the Indonesian Ministry of Health than the Real Number?

In the same statement, the Director of Prevention and Control of Directly Infectious Diseases, the Indonesian Ministry of Health, dr. Siti Nadia Tarmizi, M.Epid, conveyed the government’s commitment.

According to him, the government is committed to maintaining the continuity of efforts to eliminate TB and TB RO during the COVID-19 pandemic.

To realize the TB elimination target by 2030, the community, especially the younger generation and the productive age group, as well as the industrial world, can play a major role.

“This role can be realized through active participation in supporting the prevention of disease transmission, case finding, early detection, and treatment assistance for TB patients,” said Nadia.

For the success of these efforts, Devy said, the Ministry of Health, supported by PT Johnson & Johnson Indonesia, launched the TOSS (Find, Treat Until Heal) TB Virtual Run & Ride 2021.

This activity is part of a socialization campaign to increase awareness of the Indonesian people, especially the younger generation about TB and TB RO.

Indonesians can register to participate through the website www.ayotosstbc.com until August 16, 2020. The running period will start to coincide with the Indonesian Independence Day on August 17, 2020 until August 31, 2021.
