We are proud to partner with @SpeakTB to highlight the opportunities for leveraging successes in TB and noncommunicable disease care - including the compassion and patient-centered care delivery so excellently demonstrated in Chennai @s_keshavjee @MWAdvanceAandD @AmandaBrumwell
"We have to think about going beyond hospitals & taking health care to where people live and work. For that, we have to figure out the nuts & bolts of health care delivery, & build programmes based on care & compassion" - @s_keshavjee delivering an impassioned call to action

REACH is organising a week-long #KnowDiabetesNoDiabetes campaign at Nakshatra Centres in over 30 private hospitals🏥 and amongst the general public in Chennai.
We urge you to visit these centres and participate in our #WorldDiabetesDay activities🔵
Excellent work from our partners at REACH @SpeakTB! We’re proud to support their work to move the needle on diabetes care 🙌

Paul has left us too soon. A champion for working in solidarity with those in need, a teacher and inspiration to so many, and a beacon of compassion. We have lost a dear friend and the world has lost a bright light. @PIH

Shame on @sanofi for depriving the world's most vulnerable people from medicines that can stop TB, which kills 5,000 people every day! Patenting old drugs keeps them out of the hands of people who need them the most. @Media_AAD @jonshaffer @Garrett_W_ @nickfseymour1 @EngagePIH

@GlobalFund is going after two NGOs from the global south who have worked for years providing care to the ultra-poor. They've done this before, destroying a program in the Philippines and left many patients without care and destroyed years of work.

It may be time the GF Board examined @GlobalFund's own practices. Stopping TB caring for 15,000 patients in the middle of a pandemic: criminal. @PIH @Media_AAD @HarvardGH @AShakow @Garrett_W_ @Vincent_H_Lin @nickfseymour1 @EngagePIH @TAGTeam_Tweets @jpatadams @JInterlandi

@IRDGlobal is standing up against @GlobalFund for unfounded allegations. They have been one of the few TB projects in the world to implement a comprehensive approach for TB elimination, with startling results. @PIH @USAIDGH @StopTB @WHO @Media_AAD

Yes - the drama is that since then - in 80 years - ONLY 2 more drugs were identified and started being used and NO VACCINE - TB NEEDS attention - engagement and finances! @StopTB @TBProof @realTBpeople @AObiefuna @TerezaKasaeva
A cure for tuberculosis was found in 1943. Laureate Selman Waksman (shown) began systematic studies of the growth of tubercle bacteria. His colleague, Albert Schatz, isolated streptomycin from a bacterium, which proved to be the first effective medicine against TB.

We are grateful to @NTEP_TamilNadu and @frederick_asha for launching the #WorldTBDay2021 campaign. We salute the efforts of private providers in the fight against TB and wish our TB Nanbans the best for the campaign!

During this #WHM2021 and every month, are proud to be partners with REACH. In the Linking to Care initiative, their work for people with TB and noncommunicable diseases is exceptional, a testament to the determination and compassion of their TB Nanbans like Zahaitha.
Zahaitha, a TB Nanban in our Linking to Care initiative in Chennai, is determined to fulfil her dreams as a healthcare worker. Watch this short video as we continue our #WomenEndingTB series for #IWD2021

The price of lockdowns has been very high for people affected by other diseases. TB kills more than 4,000 people a day. We have to think about community diagnosis/care delivery as a point of synergy for various diseases. The graph below is from India. devex.com/news/opinion-the-f…

Great piece by @zainrizvi + @LawrenceGostin calling on
Biden to: "convene vaccine developers and urge them to share their vaccine technology with others to quickly ramp up supply." @PIH
