结核是可治愈的，可它每18秒钟就导致一人死亡。

世卫组织呼吁立即采取行动终止结核病

世界卫生组织（世卫组织）警告，虽然去年结核病的患病和死亡人数有所减少，但各国的努力仍不足以实现到2030年终止结核病的目标。尽管2000年以来通过全球努力避免了大约5400万例结核病死亡，但该病仍然是世界上最致命的传染病。

WHO calls for urgent action to end TB

Fewer people fell ill and died from tuberculosis (TB) last year but countries are still not doing enough to end TB by 2030, warns the World Health Organization (WHO).
