The Limpopo department of health and social development has said the rate at which TB statistics in the province were rising was a matter of serious concern.

The event is held yearly to raise awareness about this pandemic which, according to World Health Organisation, kills at least 2million people every year. The TB event coincided with the official opening of the Mashamba Clinic.
