South Africa is facing a TB crisis, with a new person succumbing to the disease every seven minutes. Comprehensive targeted testing for TB is urgently needed, and the City of Cape Town offers free testing to all its residents. Prevention is key, and simple actions such as good personal hygiene and covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing can significantly curb the spread of TB bacteria. The call to action is clear: get tested and together we can conquer TB.
