A South African public health expert has called on authorities to increase efforts to find tuberculosis (TB) cases instead of waiting for patients to arrive at clinics when they are already at risk of dying.

Keertan Dheda, a University of Cape Town (UCT) professor of pulmonology, said: “That the number of overall TB cases globally has increased, but the number of diagnosed cases has decreased substantially, is very concerning.”
