Canada lights up in red | The Oshawa Express

Canada lights up in red Posted on March 16, 2021 by oshawaexpress in LETTERS Dear Editor, How can a disease that is preventable and curable still be persisting in so many countries around the world? Every year on March 24, the world puts a spotlight on Tuberculosis (TB), one of the oldest infectious diseases with World TB Day. To stand in solidarity with the millions of people who suffer and lost their lives to TB, Canada will be lighting up over 30 landmarks and buildings (our highest to date!) in red across the nation. Here in Canada, progress towards TB elimination has not been moving forward for over a decade, with the incidence of TB in Inuit communities over 290 times higher than non-Indigenous populations. The COVID-19 crisis has been even more damaging to the TB epidemic, with resources that are normally used to fight TB being diverted to respond to COVID-19.
