The Management Team and Staff of TB Annex Hospital proudly extend heartfelt congratulations toMinistry of Health, Republic of Liberia of Health of the Republic of Liberia, on her well-deserved recognition by the World Health Organization (WHO) with a Certificate of Appreciation for her outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment to advancing to***co control in Liberia.
As a specialized hospital at the forefront of the fight against Tuberculosis (TB) and other respiratory illnesses, we at TB Annex Hospital fully understand the devastating impact to***co use continues to have on the human body and on the lives of our patients daily. To***co damages the lungs, weakens the immune system, increases the risk of severe respiratory infections, worsens tuberculosis outcomes, and contributes to life-threatening diseases such as lung cancer, heart disease, and chronic respiratory conditions.
Many of the patients we care for struggle with complications linked directly or indirectly to to***co exposure. Smoking not only increases the risk of contracting TB but also delays recovery, increases treatment failure, and contributes to preventable deaths. This is why your recognition by the World Health Organization is not only a personal and national achievement, but also a significant victory in the global fight to end Tuberculosis.
This award highlights the critical connection between to***co control and TB prevention. Reducing to***co use means protecting vulnerable populations, improving TB treatment outcomes, reducing respiratory complications, and saving countless lives. Strong to***co control policies are essential tools in achieving global and national targets to eliminate TB and other respiratory diseases.
Your leadership and advocacy continue to strengthen Liberia’s public health system and inspire healthcare professionals across the country to remain committed to building a healthier and safer society.
The TB Annex Hospital family joins the Ministry of Health and all Liberians in celebrating this remarkable milestone. We remain inspired by your passion for service and your steadfast commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery and safeguarding future generations from the dangers of to***co use.
Congratulations, Hon. Minister, on this outstanding and historic achievement. Liberia is proud of you.
Signed:
Management Team
