Tuberculosis Programme

Overview

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs. While it is a preventable and treatable disease, it remains a significant global health challenge. AKUH is committed to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for patients with TB. Our state-of-the-art facilities, coupled with our team of highly skilled professionals, ensure that patients receive the highest quality treatment and support.

  • Pulmonary TB: The most common type, affecting the lungs.

  • Extra-pulmonary TB: TB that affects organs other than the lungs, such as the brain, kidneys, or bones.

  • Drug-resistant TB: TB that is resistant to standard TB drugs, requiring more complex treatment regimens.
