TB & HIV in Ghana

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) epidemics continue to have destructive consequences on populations in Ghana and the Sub-Saharan Africa region as a whole. Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in Ghana.
