IntroductionTuberculosis (TB) is a persistent global health challenge, with 7.5 million new diagnoses and an estimated incidence of 10.6 million cases in 2022 [1]. At present, achieving the World Health Organization (WHO) End-TB Strategy's ambitious aims for a 95% decrease in TB-related deaths and a 90% decline in TB incidence rate by 2035 appears unrealistic [2]. The status quo of TB control methods is fraught with challenges.

The limitations of conventional diagnostic methods (e.g. sputum smear microscopy, PCR and culture), such as their slow turnaround times, lack of sensitivity in certain cohorts and technical challenges, have been well recognised [2, 3].

There are many myths about breast cancer, particularly in Africa with its rich diversity of people, different genetic backgrounds and ancestral histories. An advertising campaign from the US, for example, asserts that 1 in every 8 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. This statistic has pervaded the rest of the world, where it is accepted as fact. But in sub-Saharan Africa, the lifetime risk of a woman developing breast cancer is much lower.

Relationships are something you choose to be in, not something you do for entertainment, to pass the time, or to look cool.

Relationships are something you choose to be in, not something you do for entertainment, to pass the time, or to look cool. Yes, they are fun, but the commitment level required will make or break you as a couple. How do you know if you are compatible with someone? If you and someone you are dating are compatible, you will feel as though you just work, whether or not you have similar backgrounds, hobbies or interests. Being compatible with your lover isn't something you can force.
