TB is preventable & treatable, yet it claims 1.3M lives a year. As a curable disease, it is then a political choice to #EndTB. To stop more lives being needlessly lost, we urge Govs adopt a "whole of society" approach 🌎💙 Check it out in our new report: bit.ly/48ZOc7y

TB themed biscuits for our #tuberculosis awareness day @NorthMidNHS today. TB continues to make people unwell and can be passed from one person to another through coughing but transmission is preventable and the illness curable with antibiotics. Early diagnosis= better outcomes.
