Really the message should be so easy and clear. I’ll help you. Repeat after me: @jnjnews withdraws all secondary patents on bedaquiline, everywhere, effective July 18, 2023. I’d settle for loud, public commitment of non-enforcement.

I keep crying out of nowhere. What a good day to support MSF International, Partners In Health, and all the global health orgs and activists who've been fighting for tuberculosis treatment access for decades. These people are my heroes, and today I'll be making donations in honor of TB survivors around the

Nandita (along with Phumeza Tisile 🏳️‍🌈) helped lead the charge to fight the bedaquiline patent extension in India. She lost eight years of her life and her hearing to MDR-TB. So many others have lost their lives. Watch her speech at the UN five years ago: youtube.com/watch?v=4yfZsF… THANK YOU

So proud of Nandita V who has emerged from a horrifying experience with #TB and is now on TIME emerging leaders list! Epitome of courage, conviction and persistence. All the best to you and Phumeza Tisile 🏳️‍🌈

“Tuberculosis is a disease of injustice.” Read our Q&A w/ “tuberculosis hater” 🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢. We asked him how he became involved with the fight against tuberculosis, what outrages him most, and how TB is influencing his next book. #WorldTBDay #tuberculosis devex.com/news/4-questio…

This 10-year-old boy’s dad died from brain TB (TB meningitis). He is left to fend for his family on the streets of Delhi cooking and selling egg rolls. No one deserves to die from a preventable, curable disease. We fail as humanity when we let this happen. The children suffer.

Finally!!!! And this, is the power of advocacy👏

Amazing to see, not just because of the initiative itself, but for a reason that may not be evident to the eye. Applaud Ministry of Health for using sensitive language in addressing people with #TB (not TB patients). Stop TB Partnership ‘Words Matter’ guide is being used, and greatly appreciated👏
