| dc.description.abstract | More than three hundred and forty-five million (345 000 000) people live in the South African Development Community region (SADC), which is also the epicentre of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) pandemic. In the region, Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of death among people living with HIV, accounting for around one in three (1/3) Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) related deaths, with seven (7) of the sixteen (16) SADC nations among the top thirty (30) TB high burden countries globally. Bringing these diseases under control will contribute to SADC attaining Universal Health Care by 2030 and the health-related Sustainable Development Goals. | en_US |
