From Peter Davies, Secretary, TB Alert, Cardiothoracic Centre
Thank you for your extensive coverage of TB
(7 July, p 3,
p 6 and
p 28). Your
issue should be a valuable contribution to the fight against this entirely
preventable disease.
However, things may not be as bleak as the picture you painted. In Britain a
new charity called TB Alert (www.tbalert.org) was launched two years ago, to
raise awareness and funds for the fight. Governments and businesses are slowly
waking up to the problem, but we have a long way to go.
