“It’s also clear that we cannot truly #EndTB unless we address its drivers: poverty, malnutrition, diabetes, HIV, tobacco and alcohol use, poor living and working conditions, stigma and discrimination, and more” - Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus #WorldTBDay2023 World Health Organization (WHO)


TB is set to reclaim the dubious crown of being the leading infectious killer. Here’s a message I was asked to record for AIIMS, New Delhi 🇮🇳 on the leading (and possibly most neglected) risk factor for TB. The Union BU_TIARA Stop TB Partnership McGill TB Centre


Was happy to have seen the original microscope & equipment used by Robert Koch in the museum at Robert Koch-Institut Berlin! He worked on many infectious diseases & travelled the world for research. #WorldTBDay2023 is observed for his discovery of Mycobacterium as the cause of #TB in 1882


One of the innovative initiatives of the TB program is #Nikshay Mitra which encourages citizens to support one or more patients with nutritional & other needs. It reduces stigma, increases awareness & helps needy TB patients #WorldTBDay2023 Ministry of Health Stop TB Partnership World Health Organization (WHO) Confederation of Indian Industry


Very proud of Alex Richards who on this World TB day had not 1 but 2 papers published from her PhD, and wrote some wise words to accompany them. Fantastic and important work!

Working in the TB clinic is always a joy. This world TB day, I just wanted to give a shout out to the amazing and dedicated public health nurses Boston Medical Center. Unlike sputa, I did not need any inducement. Karen R. Jacobson, MD, MPH @id_bmc BU_TIARA


Looking forward to seeing you at the Union/TB science. There is an exciting program being prepared. The Union Conference #tbscience



I learned a lot by writing this perspective on scaling up short all-oral regimens for drug-resistant TB in the US with Karen R. Jacobson, MD, MPH, Bob Horsburgh & Carlos Acuña-Villaorduña. bit.ly/3UgR7CV @id_bmc The Union McGill TB Centre @Marcoandlungs @TB_NewsDaily BU_TIARA


Achieving 2030 End TB Targets will require >20% year-on-year decline in incidence and mortality, for 8 years. In the ERJ (ERS publications), we (Justin Denholm, GB Migliori & others) argue for a renewed vision of TB elimination, using a staged approach. bit.ly/3H3iX08



BPaL in the US is a BIG deal! Key points of our editorial: - BPaL is safe, effective, & cost-saving - We need to monitor for BDQ resistance as we scale up - Therapeutic drug monitoring for LZD is critical @id_bmc Paul Sax Karen R. Jacobson, MD, MPH BU_TIARA academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…

We’d all like to see TB rates dropping faster than they are! Engaging corporations to help end TB in workplaces, communities, and countries is an inadequately tapped strategy. Our reflection: tinyurl.com/2p93eayf natasha hochberg BU-CHART @id_bmc JIPMER - Official @paimadhu


To improve quality of #midwifery education, we explored the clinical learning experience for midwifery students in #SierraLeone. Clinics provided access to direct, hands-on opportunities or patient care and were more supportive learning environments. trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/f8…
