To mark World TB Day (24 March), EURACTIV talked with two Ukrainians about how Ukrainians are fighting not only Russia’s invasion but also one of the highest incidences of TB cases in the European region - Andriy Klepikov, Executive Director of the Alliance for Public Health, and Anton Basenko, Programme Manager at European AIDS Treatment Group (EATG), Ukrainian civil society representative and TB survivor.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has put tuberculosis (TB) patients inside the country at high risk due to the lack of access to treatment, while countries receiving refugees have been advised to screen and test certain groups.
