The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has assured that the UAE continues to rank among the nations with the lowest tuberculosis rates, a testament to the country’s rigorous preventive programmes and strategic health policies.

In a statement ahead of World Tuberculosis Day, the ministry attributed its success to a collaborative effort with national health authorities to curb the spread of the disease. The UAE’s comprehensive strategy includes standardised surveillance protocols, an advanced monitoring system, a consistent supply of tuberculosis medications, and enhanced training for healthcare professionals.
