Statement From Sequella Founder and CEO, Dr. Carol Nacy at the 'Stop TB' Meeting in Brazil on the Eve of World TB Day (PR Newswire)

Posted: 23 Mar 2009 02:38 PM PDT

PR Newswire - "With multidrug (MDR) and extremely drug (XDR) resistant tuberculosis on the rise, the world-wide financial crisis is of major concern to the international health community," said Dr. Carol Nacy, CEO of Sequella. "The Global Fund to fight HIV, malaria, and TB is running a huge deficit, and public health officials fear that any gains of the last 10 years in control of TB, especially in HIV-infected patients, will be lost. The specter of untreatable TB hangs like a pall over the STOP TB Partnership meeting in Rio de Janeiro, as patient advocates and health ministers, companies and non-governmental organizations, gather to determine how best to work together to even maintain the status quo."
