This article is an example of the success of the world working together to solve a global epidemic. Even though the results may not be as optimistic as the world would hope for, any progress is still an improvement and a testimony of the world's effort to work as one. Unlike AIDS which has no cure at present, TB is one which can be cured and global effort has been put in to make use of this factor. The fact that a vast majority of people infected have been successfully cured from TB shows that global effort can really make a difference. Even though with increased treatment the number of infected patients are still on a slow increase, with continual effort to spread the treatments all over the world to various governments and partners, I believe that the situation can be contained and less people will have to die from TB.
This epidemic affects people worldwide, very much related to globalisation. The cooperation of various governments and partners has made effective TB treatment possible all over the world. However, more work is still needed to be done. Still, there are third world countries which need help for the world to bring effective TB treatment to them. The global aim now should be to bring effective TB treatment to every part of the world, even to places which are not as advanced in technology. These places are even more in need of basic TB treatment because of the health conditions they live in. The WHO has been doing its part to improve the health and medical conditions all over the world. Every government should do the same for the world even if their own country already has effective TB treatment. Countries should always help one another if problems need to be solved. With the cooperation of the governments of the world and a clear aim of increasing access to primary healthcare services worldwide, health epidemics like TB can be brought to a stop.
