I think our country ranks 9th in terms of the number of tuberculosis patients compared to other countries, so I would like to see it drop from the top 10.

 The World Health Organization reports that our country has one of the highest infection rates and that the infection rate is increasing.

 I will also focus on this with his instructions.
