We are proud to partner with @SpeakTB to highlight the opportunities for leveraging successes in TB and noncommunicable disease care - including the compassion and patient-centered care delivery so excellently demonstrated in Chennai @s_keshavjee@MWAdvanceAandD@AmandaBrumwell
We can’t work in siloes if we want health for all! Our inspiring colleagues in Chennai are at the forefront of integrative TB and NCD care. Partnerships, patient-centeredness and compassion are key ingredients for success @SpeakTB@s_keshavjee@MWAdvanceAandD@BBhoodooSmith

Cost to run US health care system:
—$2,497/person
Cost to run Canada's single-payer system:
—$551/person
The next time someone tells you we can't afford Medicare for all, remind them that our profit-driven system costs *4x more* to run than Canada’s single-payer system.
Linda Polman, Paul Farmer, and others call the tendency for humanitarian aid to follow the funding in siloed programs the “crisis caravan.” But aid must address community-identified problems with integrated, not siloed, care, to rebuild systems destroyed by conflict. @Media_AAD
I have been supporting people experiencing homelessness to quarantine and isolate related to #COVID19 since March, 2020 and this is what I have learned.
Quarantine + resources + entertainment = annoying but doable.
Quarantine + nothing = feels like jail and can be traumatic.
#COVIDー19 está llevando a muchas familias a la pobreza y enfermedades como la #tuberculosis asoman con más fuerza ante el cansancio y limitaciones de nuestros sistemas de salud.
Concerns about outdoor transmission risk seem to be trending again. What is the risk of transmission outdoors and should we be more worried about outdoors with the new more-transmissible variant? 🧵(1/n)
There are effective approaches already in use outside the U.S. that can provide focused protection for the vulnerable and prevent transmission of viruses indoors, write @s_keshavjee and Tom Nicholson https://t.co/K5r7p9Pqe8 via @WSJ
I have the privilege of working with these folks, and it's an understatement to say they're doing fantastic work. We can't let covid derail care for people who need it.
