Conferences and symposiums Symposia on Global Health and Tuberculosis
KI's Network for Tuberculosis Research (KI-NET4TB) invites you to A Symposium on Global Health and Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis remains a global health challenge with approximately 25% of the global population having been infected with the bacterium.
