Happening today: The LIGHT TB Project Final Dissemination at Protea Hotel, bringing together key stakeholders for the release of findings from a 6-year, FCDO/UK aid–funded collaboration led by the @Lung_Institute and the @LIGHTonTB

The project Focused on “Leaving No-One Behind”, the evidence highlights critical gaps in TB care and the need for gender-responsive, patient-centred approaches.

These findings come at a pivotal moment ahead of #WorldTBDay, with strong potential to shape national TB policy and programming.

According to my Fagayo Mustaphar from the @FUEmployersUg workplaces should conduct periodic TB screening for employees but also focus on addressing discrimination and stigma through favorable policies. #UGPhotovoicedissemination #MLIat10 @winterzie @opiodouglas @LIGHTonTB

New research from @join_chic finds that CHWs are often excluded as authors and key decision-makers in global health research. What next? We must work towards the equitable inclusion of CHWs for more equitable, impactful global health research.

I can't believe I have to say this, but please don't bring your socially anxious friend out to a gathering just to ignore them or leave them alone with a group of people they don't know.

Women #CHWs are vital for #HealthForAll, yet many do not have the salaries, skills, supervision, or supplies they need to succeed. Join us and @womeninGH for an online event parallel to #CSW68 on #proCHWs and how to maximize the impact of their expertise. https://t.co/LbnVAVExBs
