The event was themed ‘Breaking the Resistance: Fighting AMR and TB Together for a Healthy Future’.
It underscored the need for joint efforts to combat the dual threats of TB and AMR on national and global scales.
Tinubu reaffirmed its commitment to eradicating TB in Nigeria, highlighting the devastating toll the disease continues to take on the nation.
“Nigeria bears one of the highest TB burdens globally, and the loss of 125,000 lives each year is a tragedy we can no longer ignore,” she said.
She called for increased investment in research to develop new tools, treatments, and vaccines to tackle the evolving threat posed by TB and antimicrobial resistance.
