                    [Title] => World TB Day: Eradicating a vicious cycle
                    [Summary] => For one day in March every year, the whole world brings to mind a serious public concern that has plagued many countries worldwide, rich and poor alike. This is tuberculosis, more popularly known as TB, which is still one of the leading causes of sickness and death worldwide. 


World Tuberculosis Day was observed last March 24.

In the Philippines, a TB control program, which had adult patients in long queues, was implemented for decades. Such a program, however, did not solve the festering TB problem because it missed the central point — childhood TB.
