Maputo โ€” The US Embassy in Maputo has pledged that the US will continue "to support Mozambique in taking concrete actions to fight the tuberculosis epidemic'.

An embassy release, issued to mark World Tuberculosis Day, said that "this year alone, approximately 14 million dollars will be invested bilaterally to support TB control activities'.

"Although Mozambique's TB program has made tremendous progress over the past years, the country remains among the 14 countries most affected by TB', added the release. "TB is one of the leading causes of death and the leading cause of death for people living with HIV in Mozambique'.
