Why Tuberclosis TB Could Be The Next Health Disaster In Kenya

On receiving a rather alarming report from Kenyan doctors on the state of TB (Tuberclosis)in Kenya, I quietly sat down and counted off the number of people I knew personally who had died in the last 3 years from being sick in hospital and I was shocked. I suggest that you do the same and you will most probably come up with the same shocking figures I came up with.

A staggering 90 per cent died for TB related complications. 90 per cent!!!

Doctors are now shouting themselves hoarse in trying to warn the government of this killer and the fact that more urgent and drastic measures need to be taken top contain it. Actually the statistics already tell us that TB is such a serious problem already that when compared to the recent Rift Valley Fever that wrecked havoc countrywide.

One reason for this is that Aids sufferers tend to be extremely vulnerable to TB and as many of them travel in crowded public transport, transmitting the TB is very easy. It ios widely believed that this has been one of the major ways that this disease which had virtually been eradicated in these shores, has come back with such vengeance affecting such large numbers.

Sadly, as usual, the government seems to be too slow in reacting to this disaster that is just waiting to happen.
