SPRINT-TB Appears in The Straits Times for World TB Day
World Tuberculosis Day is marked every 24 March by communities around the globe. To commemorate this year's occasion, The Straits Times ran an article written by Assistant Professor Mishal S. Khan, who leads SPRINT-TB Theme 4. In the piece, Dr. Khan reviewed TB rates worldwide, drew attention to the rising problem of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, and set out why Singapore is especially well positioned to take a leading role in TB control across Asia — a region that accounts for nearly 60% of global tuberculosis cases.
The full article, headlined "Singapore in a prime position to lead fight against tuberculosis", was published in the 24 March 2026 edition of The Straits Times.
