PENCIL CASE Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious concern of the Probolinggo (Dinkes) District Health Office. Countermeasures are implemented by finding suspects, finding cases, selection, to standard treatment. On Monday (31/10), the Health Bureau invited representatives from 33 health centers and 5 hospitals to Probolinggo Regency.
Tuberculosis is the ninth leading cause of death worldwide. The leading cause of a single infectious agent that ranks above HIV / AIDS.
According to the WHO in the Global TB Report 2021, Indonesia is currently among the top three countries in the world as a contributor to tuberculosis patients after China. Tuberculosis has also been declared a national health emergency.
The estimated incidence of tuberculosis in Indonesia is 824,000 cases or 391 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. With mortality (death) 107,000 or 40 mortality per 100,000 inhabitants. One of the commitments made by Indonesia is to develop a road map (road map) to achieve the goal of eliminating tuberculosis by 2030.
Additionally, there are challenges that require attention. Namely, increasing cases of MDR-TB (multi-drug resistance), TB-HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), tuberculosis with DM (diabetes mellitus), tuberculosis in children and other vulnerable communities. This has spurred national TB control to continue to intensify, accelerate, expand and innovate programs.
