Malaysia has controlled many infectious diseases over time. But HIV/AIDS, and increasingly tuberculosis (TB), now pose challenges. Infectious diseases can undermine development because of the rapidity with which they can spread, their multidimensional impact, and the challenges they pose to prevention and treatment.
