Umba ophambili wengxoxo ibikukuphucula ukubonwa kwemeko, ehlala iseyeyona miqobo ibalulekileyo kumlo ochasene ne-TB. Kwi-Asia Pacific, izehlo ze-TB zaqikelelwa kwi-6.1 yezigidi ngo-2020, kodwa kuphela i-3.9 yezigidi zeemeko eziye zazisiwe. Okuqaphelekayo, ummandla we-WHO we-Southeast Asia uthwele owona mthwalo uphezulu we-TB kwihlabathi jikelele, unika ingxelo elona nani likhulu lamatyala amatsha (43%) ngo-2020. Abantu aba-4 kwabalishumi abane-TB kulo mmandla baye bangafunyaniswanga kwaye banganyangwa, imeko eyongeziweyo ngenxa yokuphazamiseka kwezempilo okubangelwa. nge-COVID-10. Oku kuye kwakhokelela ekubeni inani labantu abafunyaniswe kwaye banyangwe kumazwe achaphazeleke kakhulu liwele kumanqanaba ka-19, nto leyo isoyikisa inkqubela ekupheliseni i-TB.

Ecinga ngeli qonga, u-Ana-Maria Ionescu, iNkokeli ye-TB kwi-Global TB Franchise, uJohnson & Johnson Global Public Health, uthe, “Iforamu ibonise ukuzimisela, ukugxila, kunye nokuveliswa kwezinto ezintsha kuluntu lwe-TB kunye neenkqubo zesizwe ze-TB e-Asia-Pacific, eziye zabonisa ukuzimisela, ukugxila, kunye nokuqaliswa kwenkqubo ye-TB yelizwe jikelele. ibibaluleke kakhulu ekugcineni ukusindisa ubomi, ukuqhubeka kweenkonzo eziyimfuneko ze-TB kubantu abaninzi abaphila ne-TB, kunye nokunciphisa ezinye zeempembelelo ezimbi kakhulu ze-COVID-19. UJohnson & Johnson bazibophelele ngokunzulu ekuvuleni izinto ezintsha kumanqanaba asekhaya, engingqi kunye nehlabathi ukufumana izigidi zabantu abalahlekileyo, abangafunyaniswanga abaphila nesifo sephepha - kwaye ngale ndlela banegalelo kwinjongo esabelana ngayo sonke - ukwenza i-TB ibe sisifo ixesha eladlula.

Ukuthatha indlela yendlela yokwakha izicwangciso zexesha elizayo zokufumana isigulane, iingxoxo ezijoliswe ekuxhaseni ukucinga okutsha, iteknoloji kunye neendlela zokubambisana phakathi kukarhulumente nezoshishino zabucala ezikhawulezisa impembelelo yokuphunyezwa.

• Ukuphuculwa kwezinga lezaziso nge-TB kuhlala kungumba ophambili, nto leyo efuna ugxininiso lokukhangela amatyala ngaphakathi nangaphaya kwezibonelelo zempilo;

• Izifundo ezifunyenweyo ekujonganeni nezinye iintlekele zempilo zehlabathi, ezifana ne-COVID-19 kunye ne-HIV, zinokuxhaswa ukunyusa impendulo ekhoyo ye-TB;

• Ubugcisa obutsha bunokunceda ukuxhasa nokujongana nenqanaba ngalinye lohambo lwesigulana se-TB - ukusuka ekusebenziseni uhlalutyo lwedatha kunye nokufunda koomatshini ukuphucula izinga lezaziso ze-TB, ekusebenziseni ubuchwepheshe bamva nje be-X-reyi kunye noxilongo lwe-molecular ukuqinisa ukuxilongwa kwe-TB kwangoko kunye nokunceda ukuqinisekisa ukuba izigulane. ukufumana kwangethuba, unyango olulolona lufanelekileyo. I-Telehealth kunye ne-digitalization nazo ziya kudlala indima ebalulekileyo ekulawuleni nasekuthinteleni i-TB;

• Ukudala intsebenziswano phakathi kwamacandelo karhulumente nawabucala kunye nokuzisa abachaphazelekayo abaninzi - abafana noorhulumente basekhaya, ii-arhente, nemibutho yezentlalo neyoluntu - kwintshukumo ye-TB ngundoqo ekupheliseni i-TB;

• Ukusebenzisana okutsha kufuneka kudlulele ngaphaya kwemida yoshishino ukujongana ngcono neemfuno zezigulane. Imizekelo ephawulekayo ibandakanyiwe

• Ukubekwa ibala nocalucalulo olunxulunyaniswa ne-TB luyaqhubeka ukuphazamisa iinzame zokufumanisa imeko kunye nokuxilongwa. Ngoko ke, kunyanzelekile ukuba kuqhutywe unxibelelwano lwezempilo oluthe ngqo kunye olungathanga ngqo kwizigulane, amalungu entsapho kunye noluntu ukuququzelela ukukhuthaza inkqubo yendalo exhasayo kwizigulane.
