Health authorities are still struggling to figure out how a 14-year-old boy ended up dying of tuberculosis in Nain, just two years after a similar outbreak left a 39-year old man dead in the Labrador Inuit community. 14-year-old Gussie Bennett's death has sent ripples through his Nain community. If Nain residents are concerned that they or a loved one may have signs of tuberculosis, Grynszpan said they should report immediately to the Nain clinic. Lampe said that people really need to seek help if they think something might be wrong and visit the Nain health clinic. Philpott's comments come as the federal government makes a pledge to eliminate tuberculosis across Inuit communites by 2030.
