HOPE FOR PEOPLE WITH TB

HOPE FOR PEOPLE WITH TUBERCULOSIS

This article tells us about the big problem with a significant increase in the number of TV patients.  The problem is very important and needs urgent help and a lot of money for drugs.  That’s why it is interesting to know that there is a plan for cutting deaths from TB by 14 million over the next 10 years.  This is the reason why the Chancellor, Gordon Brown, is joining Microsoft boss Bill Gates to launch this world plan.  The writer tells us that Great Britain will making fighting tuberculosis a top priority.  The plan is especially fundamental for Africa.

  • Should the world’s wealthier countries be obliged to help developing countries fight social and medical problems?

  • What are the benefits of having a famous figure like Bill Gates involved in a plan like this?
