20253 citationsOpen accessTakoradi Technical University

Abstract

Interventions aimed at minimising the burden of TB in Africa could be targeted at reducing men's exposure to TB risk factors. Such interventions could reduce the incidence of TB among men in Africa and contribute towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal three target 3.3, which seeks to end the global epidemics of TB by 2030.
