New pre-print modelling impact of US funding cuts on HIV, #TB, MCH and family planning. We estimate impact of termination of US funding to NTPs via #USAID & The Global Fund may lead to 2.2 (1.5-2.9) million excess TB deaths between 2025 and 2040, reversing over a decade of progress. bit.ly/4lowp18

#WeAreTB finished our annual #TBHillDay w/the TB Roundtable, with @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social & the incredible @tbfighters.org ! So grateful for the passionate new voices joining this movement & for the long term support & expertise of the Roundtable. Over 200 meetings this year - amazing!

Fighting #tuberculosis hand in hand: A call to engage communities affected by #TB as essential partners in research journals.plos.org/globalpublic... (open access) @plosglobalpublichealth.org @treatmentactiongroup.org

Deadly diseases like TB don’t stop at borders—gutting programs that detect, treat, and contain them worldwide puts us at risk at home. Sat down with John Green to discuss the human cost of these cuts and the urgent need to restore this life-saving funding.

Really important contribution by a large number of TB survivors, advocates & researchers! Communities of people affected by TB are experts in their care pathways, but the TB field continues to fall short of meaningfully engaging communities in TB research journals.plos.org/globalpublic...

Grateful I got to meet with staff from the offices of @alsobrooks.senate.gov, @hoyer.house.gov, Rep. Kweisi Mfume, and @vanhollen.senate.gov‘s staff today (and briefly with @repkweisimfume.bsky.social himself) about the impact that the funding cuts are having on tuberculosis treatment. #TBHillDay

Thank you for these reflections, Madhu. Reminds me of teachings of the Dalai Lama. Compassion compels us to act defining for us what is unacceptable. “Compassion is a state of mind unable to bear the sufferings of others. If we all had more compassion, there would be greater peace in the world.”

It’s World TB Day and we would like to share this fantastic blog post from Tenzin: “Raising our voices for tuberculosis and the leadership of those surviving it.” Please take a moment to read it: #WorldTBDay #tuberculosis #EndTB #STOPTB #TBfreeUSA #RESULTS results.org/blog/raising...
