Organizations:

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is an organization interested in helping individuals get the information that they are looking for about diseases around the world. The CDC is a major component of the Department of Health and Human Services. The pledge of this organization is “To be a diligent steward of the funds entrusted to it, to provide an environment for intellectual and personal growth and integrity, to base all public health decisions on the highest quality scientific data, openly and objectively derived, to place the benefits to society above the benefits to the institution, to treat all persons with dignity, honesty, and respect.”

The CDC gave me some great pages that gave me statistics on tuberculosis. It showed how there were declines in some countries and increases in others. It also showed out of all the tuberculosis cases how many ended in death.
