During my TB treatment, I endured painful injections and daily drugs, losing a lung. BPaL wasn’t available then, but now it is! Let’s train doctors and communities to save lives. — Meera Yadav #6MonthsMax #BpalIsMyRight TB Alliance Stop TB Partnership @fasttracktbcure

I am often in health fora but how can we talk about health when most LICs are spending almost double on debt than on health. What is the future of health? What is the future… if are stifled by colonial systems that trap us. #NoHealthNoFuture ITPC Global Global Public Investment Network

Great insight, she was one of the best DGs NACO had. No amount of funding will address this unless we change the way we do things.

I am sorry to see that despite years of talk, gender inequality is on full display at the #UNGA General Debate. Less than 10% of speakers this week are women. This is unacceptable – especially when we know gender equality delivers for peace, climate action and much more.

On #WorldLungDay, we remind the world healthy lungs mean defeating #TB. Though curable, TB still claims millions of lives. As leaders meet at #UNHLM on AMR, we urge them to prioritize TB & ensure access to new diagnostics & treatments for all.-Blessina Kumar GCTA #EndTB #UNGA
