Which Anambra State is he talking about? Smh

Either Ugochukwu Chukwulobelu is quoting lame statistics to justify money diverted or he is sweating to justify some crazy budget estimates he submitted.

Yankee101:
I seriously doubt this statistics

TB is closely linked with HIV 2day

mrvitalis:
It's not a big issue most people have TB in their lung at the dormant stage ....it's not a big deal

BSdetector:
Biafla.....land of hunger and TB.

Pennywise:
When they churn out fake statistics like this for purposes of increased funding, they fail to appreciate that foreign countries are taking note. A lot of Nigerians intending to travel are made to undertake tests they don't need on account of spurious statistics like this

Fulani marauders that work for the chief cow never shrink from defaming the Igbo man. They've tried every method within their reach and achieved no success. They are now resorting to rolling out lame statistics of diseases long conquered in the East but that still relentlessly continue to torment them. Diseases borne of filth, squalor and a reckless negligence of sanitary precautions.
This, just like others schemes will also fail.
We go dey wear shoe, Hausa/Fulani go dey polish for us.

Mutemenot:

Mr Chukwulobelu blamed lack of funds and low awareness for the high burden of TB in the state.

Chukwulobelu is looking for money to embezzle

(I am a health worker, and have actually treated TB patients)

1.Most of the TB patients are probably under treatment. And treating TB takes as long as 9-18 months...dependeing on the site of infection.

2.Anambra is populaiton dense....so spread goes a bit easier than in less populaiton dense areas

3.It is not a thing of disgrace. We know the problem...and thankfully we have the drugs and vaccine to deal with the issue.

Kimjongun:
And they are posting coppers to all these places?

OTELECTUAL... Busy trying to defend nonsense..
Igbo people who do una this thing? Tueh

FBIBOT:
Lies to steal funds.... TB isn't a joke... If that's the case hospitals will be the one crying out.....

Most TB patients are not admitted in hospitals, nor do they need to be admitted in hospitals.

Most of them are treated on outpatient basis.
