Tuberculosis (TB) was once one of the most common and deadliest infectious diseases in the world. Even to this day, it still impacts millions of people, with over 10 million new cases, and approximately 1.3 million deaths each year.

Dr. Gonzalo Alvarez is a Respirologist and Scientist at The Ottawa Hospital. Much of his work is focused on TB research among Canadian Inuit and in new Canadians. He is currently leading the Taima TB program of research. Taima (means stop in Inuktitut) TB is a group of research projects aimed at helping Inuit in Canada stop the transmission of TB in their communities.

In this episode, he discusses some of his most recent research in TB, what is known about the illness, and why it impacts certain populations.

On Call: The Ottawa Hospital Podcast features stories of care, innovation and compassion in health care, all happening right here at The Ottawa Hospital.
