BBC Health Correspondent Ania Lichtarowicz reports today that health Ministers from across Africa are meeting in Mozambique to discuss the growing numbers of tuberculosis (TB) cases across the region.
Africa is particularly hit because of co-infections with HIV and a lack of health infrastructure to monitor and treat the disease.
The WHO hopes that by making TB a regional health emergency, it will put the disease back on the agenda.
