New Infectious Diseases of Poverty publication now out - Tuberculosis infection prevention and control: why we need a whole systems approach from LSHTM TB Modelling Group London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine Richard White LSHTM TB Centre idpjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

"In #AMR ... #tuberculosis is also not prioritised, perhaps because it does not cause a problem in high-income settings, where concern about AMR is driven by hospital-associated infections" bit.ly/2ZUSf4K Gwen Knight Mario Raviglione LSHTM TB Centre CMMID London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine LSHTM AMR Centre
