“To close the book on TB we need our leaders here today to make commitments a reality for people affected by TB in countries…no one should be left behind. No one should die because of drug stock outs.” From Tweet (Xeet?) by Dr. Robyn Christine Waite (PhD)

Admirable work Kate! Kate O'Brien - outstanding leadership and commitment to End TB. And thanks for contributing to our Community & Public Health Advisory Committee! We Are TB SomosTB Emory/Georgia TB Research Advancement Center-TRAC StopTBUSA @StopTB Treatment Action Group (TAG) Sarita Shah

We are grateful for your slightly lowered price for the TB test cartridge Danaher Corporation Cepheid! But you can do BETTER. Pls drop the price of tests for XDR-TB (deadliest form of TB) & other diseases. #PeopleOverProfits

If we know how to kill a microbe, can we really say the microbe is the problem? TB persists because of failures of resource allocation and systems-building--failures that humans have caused, and humans can fix.
