Ending TB demands action. Dr Kavi Velen: "The problem is no longer a lack of solutions, but a lack of political will, investment and recognition that the current trajectory will not achieve the goal of ending TB." #AMR2025: globalcause.co.uk/antibiotic-r... @mediaplanetukie.bsky.social

A big thank you to our volunteers, without whom #WCLH2025 would not be possible. We appreciate your valuable contribution.

Dr Cassandra Kelly-Cirino, Executive Director of The Union, opened #WCLH2025 with powerful words: “In the face of devastating funding cuts & geopolitical turmoil, we must squeeze every drop of potential from this conference to move the needle & avert any further derailment.”

🚨 Only 2 days left until #WCLH2025 begins. Taking place 18-21 November at the Bella Center Copenhagen, we are excited to see our delegates once again as we discuss cutting edge science in lung health. See you in Copenhagen, or virtually 🌍. 🎯Register: https://tinyurl.com/5f9n39cr

It is important to take a moment to be proud of progress made. However, we must recognise that we are not on track to #EndTB. This necessitates an urgent strategy review, in order to prioritise interventions that will break the chain of transmission. Our response: theunion.org/news/the-uni...

On Tuesday, the UK pledged £850m to The Global Fund – down from £1bn in 2022. As Kavindhran Velen told @the-independent.com: “Now is not the time to cut funding and engagement in the fight against TB – we can do that once the job is done.” #EndTB www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

🫁 This #WorldPneumoniaDay, The Union calls for urgent global action to close gaps in lung health. Pneumonia kills more children under 5 than any other infection - mostly in LMICs. With funding cuts threatening care, coordinated action is vital.

Many thanks to @theunion.org and @the-independent.com for highlighting our work estimating the impact of reductions in global health funding on #TB morbidity and mortality @lshtm-tbmod.bsky.social @tb-lshtm.bsky.social

Ahead of The Union World Conference on Lung Health, Katherine Horton provides @the-independent.com with insights into the devastating impact of the funding cuts on global health, particularly tuberculosis. Be sure to read about the threat of UK aid cuts: www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
