Tuberculosis is starting to increase in the UK because we all travel so much these days and bring diseases like TB back with us. Although the vast majority of TB occur overseas you will benefit if we can reduce the burden of disease. Also, TB has an economic burden on developing countries so by reducing the burden of disease we will reduce the need for aid and ultimately reduce the tax burden of the UK
