Pafupifupi anthu 1.4 miliyoni ocheperako adalandira chithandizo cha chifuwa chachikulu (TB) mu 2020 kuposa 2019, malinga ndi zomwe bungwe la World Health Organisation (WHO) linapanga kuchokera kumayiko opitilira 80 - kutsika kwa 21% kuyambira 2019. mipata yachibale inali Indonesia (42%), South Africa (41%), Philippines (37%) ndi India (25%).
"Zotsatira za COVID-19 zimapitilira imfa ndi matenda omwe amayamba chifukwa cha kachilomboka.Kusokonekera kwa ntchito zofunika kwa anthu omwe ali ndi TB ndi chitsanzo chimodzi chomvetsa chisoni cha momwe mliriwu ukukhudzira anthu osauka kwambiri padziko lapansi, omwe anali pachiwopsezo chachikulu cha TB, "atero Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General wa WHO."Zidziwitso zochititsa chidwizi zikuwonetsa kufunikira kwakuti mayiko aziika chisamaliro chaumoyo padziko lonse lapansi kukhala chinthu chofunikira kwambiri akamayankha ndikuchira ku mliriwu, kuti athe kupeza chithandizo chofunikira cha TB ndi matenda onse."
Kupanga machitidwe azaumoyo kuti aliyense athe kupeza chithandizo chomwe akufunikira ndikofunikira.Maiko ena achitapo kale njira zochepetsera kukhudzidwa kwa COVID-19 pakupereka chithandizo, polimbikitsa kuwongolera matenda;kukulitsa kugwiritsa ntchito matekinoloje a digito kuti apereke upangiri ndi chithandizo chakutali, komanso kupereka kapewedwe ndi chisamaliro cha TB otengera kunyumba.
Koma anthu ambiri amene ali ndi TB amalephera kupeza chithandizo chimene akufunikira.Bungwe la WHO likuopa kuti mwina anthu enanso oposa theka la miliyoni anafa ndi TB mu 2020, chifukwa chakuti sanathe kuwazindikira.
Ili si vuto latsopano: COVID-19 isanayambe, kusiyana pakati pa chiwerengero cha anthu omwe akudwala TB chaka chilichonse komanso chiwerengero cha pachaka cha anthu omwe amanenedwa kuti ali ndi TB chinali pafupifupi 3 miliyoni.Mliriwu wakulitsa zinthu kwambiri.
Njira imodzi yothanirana ndi izi ndi kudzera mu kuyezetsa bwino kwa TB kuti muzindikire mwachangu anthu omwe ali ndi matenda a TB kapena matenda a TB.Upangiri watsopano woperekedwa ndi WHO pa Tsiku la TB Padziko Lonse cholinga chake ndi kuthandiza mayiko kuzindikira zosowa zenizeni za madera, anthu omwe ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu cha TB, ndi malo omwe akukhudzidwa kwambiri kuti atsimikizire kuti anthu atha kupeza chithandizo choyenera kwambiri chopewera ndi chisamaliro.Izi zitha kuchitika pogwiritsa ntchito njira zowunikira zomwe zimagwiritsa ntchito zida zatsopano.
Izi zikuphatikizapo kugwiritsa ntchito njira zoyezetsa matenda othamanga kwambiri, kugwiritsa ntchito njira zodziwira matenda pogwiritsa ntchito makompyuta pofuna kutanthauzira chithunzithunzi cha chifuwa cha chifuwa ndi kugwiritsa ntchito njira zambiri zowunikira anthu omwe ali ndi kachilombo ka HIV kuti adziwe ngati ali ndi TB.Malangizowo akutsatiridwa ndi kalozera wogwira ntchito kuti athandizire kufalitsa.
Koma izi sizingakhale zokwanira zokha.Mu 2020, mu lipoti lake ku United Nations General Assembly, Mlembi Wamkulu wa UN adapereka malingaliro 10 omwe mayiko ayenera kutsatira.Izi zikuphatikizapo kuyambitsa utsogoleri wapamwamba ndi kuchitapo kanthu m'magulu angapo kuti achepetse imfa za TB mwamsanga;kuwonjezera ndalama;kupititsa patsogolo chithandizo chaumoyo kwa anthu onse popewa ndi kuchiza TB;kuthana ndi kukana mankhwala, kulimbikitsa ufulu wa anthu ndi kulimbikitsa kafukufuku wa TB.
Ndipo mozama, zidzakhala zofunikira kuchepetsa kusagwirizana kwa thanzi.
