Key Impacts
TB in the elderly: A growing challenge and the need for specialised care in Anambra State
Addressing tuberculosis (TB) in the elderly requires a shift toward specialized care models that emphasize early detection, individualized treatment, and comprehensive patient management. The implementation of age-specific diagnostic protocols has significantly improved access to geriatric TB care, leading to earlier diagnoses, better treatment outcomes, and a reduction in mortality rates. Tackling TB among aging populations is not only a medical imperative but also a vital component of global TB control strategies.
