Edinburgh Friends of MSF [FoMSF]
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most deadly infectious diseases in the world. Each year it kills 1.4 million people with nearly another nine million suffering from the disease, mainly in developing countries. TB is often thought of as a disease of the past but a recent resurgence and the spread of drug-resistant forms makes it very much an issue of the present day and age. MSF has been fighting TB for over 30 years and has recently brought attention to the vital changes needed in TB diagnoses and treatment and have established global campaigns for more equitable access to TB drugs. Friends of MSF Edinburgh are launching their first ever ‘TB Awareness Month’ this February in order to bring to light the issues facing those affected by TB around the world. During this month Friends of MSF will be hosting events open to all members of the student and wider community to get us thinking about TB, what MSF are currently doing to control the threat, and how we can help. We will also be posting links to blogs, videos, articles and all kinds of TB-related media to inform, entertain and most importantly, to raise awareness of one of the biggest threats to global health.
‘TB Awareness Month’ events: • 10th February, 7:30PM, Banshee Labyrinth: Film Screening of: TB, Return of the Plague • 17th February, 1:00PM, Seminar Room 3, Chancellors Building, Little France: Live Skype Call with TB MSF Project in South Africa • 24th February, 19:00PM, Appleton Tower Lecture Theatre 2.14: Talk from TB Expert and Edinburgh Respiratory Physician Dr Dhaliwal
