Journal Article
Tropical diseases need attention, too
2020
Overview
Since March, three-quarters of our time has been spent on COVID-19. In October, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that progress against TB might stall: in the countries with the highest rates of the disease, the number of people diagnosed and directed to care dropped by one-quarter compared with last year's figure. Because many countries have implemented lockdowns, hospitals and health centres have seen a significant drop in the number of people coming for treatment. During the lockdown, researchers and engineers developed prototypes of respirators made in Congo using recycled components, showing initiative and creativity that should flow into other areas of health research.
