According to an NGO, Papua New Guinea has 35,000 new cases of tuberculosis a year.

Business for Health, or B4H, says 6000 of these are in Port Moresby alone.

The purified protein derivative test confirms whether someone has had exposure to tuberculosis, a serious infectious disease. A positive test result indicates that the person may have a tuberculosis infection, but it does not necessarily mean that they have active tuberculosis.
