March 24 is the international day for fight against tuberculosis (TB).
Despite the efforts directed at control and prevention of the disease,
the desirable results have not been achieved. The rate of tuberculosis
continues to remain high all over the world. 9 million TB cases are
registered annually, 2 million of which die. The mortality rate from
TB has also increased. According to the coordinator of the national
program to fight TB Vahan Petrosyan, the implementation of the DOTS
strategy by the World Health Organization has raised the effectiveness
of the fight against the disease.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
