Can We Eradicate Tuberculosis? A Review of Obstacles to Eliminate the Disease examines why tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge despite decades of control efforts.

It addresses poverty, overcrowding, malnutrition, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, diagnostic gaps, treatment adherence, financing and drug resistance. By critically examining limitations in existing strategies, the book highlights opportunities for stronger prevention, diagnosis, treatment, public awareness, policy development and international collaboration.
