During 2010, 8.8 million people developed TB and 1.45 million people died due to the disease. In this project, which will be conducted in Vietnam, one of the countries in our region with a particularly high prevalence of TB, we will test a new form of an old intervention: community-wide screening for TB, not with x-rays but by testing sputum. If the project is successful it has the potential to lead to a giant leap forward towards the elimination of TB as a global health problem.

2010年期间，880万人患上结核病，145万人死于结核病。这个项目将在越南进行，越南是我们地区结核病发病率特别高的国家之一，在这个项目中，我们将测试一种旧干预措施的新形式：在社区范围内筛查结核病，不是用X射线，而是通过检测痰。如果该项目成功，它有可能导致消除结核病这一全球健康问题的巨大飞跃。
