I spent 10 years as a tuberculosis doctor working in the US and globally. Recent funding cuts to global TB programs aren't just stalling progress—they're actively reversing decades of advances against the world's deadliest infectious disease.

Up to 50% of TB survivors face lasting lung damage—even after cure. Post-TB lung disease is real, underrecognized, and impacts lives. We need prevention, diagnosis & care beyond treatment. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…

Reports to WHO confirm that funding cuts from foreign aid are already dismantling essential #tuberculosis (TB) services. Without urgent action, these setbacks will reverse decades of progress to #EndTB 🔗bit.ly/4ilkK1h #WorldTBDay

📏"There are people who question the value and cost of community-wide active case finding, but that is often because they are using the wrong measurement." Be sure to read Dr Cassandra Kelly-Cirino's #WorldTBDay statement: theunion.org/news/no-more-e… #NoMoreExcuses #EndTB

I would like to wish a very happy Eid al-Adha to Londoners and all those observing around the world. Eid is a special time to reflect on our blessings, renew our commitment to our faith, and show compassion to those less fortunate.
