Fight against tuberculosis: A national competition launched to mobilize Ivorian media

On April 7, 2026, the NGO Alliance Côte d'Ivoire and the Ministry of Health launched the National Media Production Competition on Tuberculosis in Abidjan. This competition, running from April to May 2026, aims to raise public awareness and combat misconceptions about tuberculosis, which causes 2,000 deaths annually in Côte d'Ivoire. Organizers believe that the media play a crucial role in the fight against this disease by influencing behaviors and encouraging screening.
