TB CASES IN IRELAND SOAR; TB Centre in Dublin ‘can’t meet current or future demand’

IRELAND – Ireland’s TB care centre says it cannot meet current or future demand as cases soar.

The country’s main centre for tuberculosis care has warned it cannot meet current or future demand, saying it saw as many children under one with the potentially lethal condition as in the previous decade combined.

The number of emergency reviews doubled between 2023 and 2024, and the service is “at full capacity”.

The centre, based at St James’ Hospital in Dublin, said urgent action was needed on laboratory supports, as well as staffing and infrastructure.
