Seven Asian nations have been named among 16 countries that are not doing enough to help halt the global spread of tuberculosis. A World Health Organization (WHO) report says the seven countries are not taking seriously its warning of a looming TB emergency. Without a more committed effort from these and other countries, the report says 70 million people worldwide will die of the disease between now and 2020.
