Excited to see this announcement from @MoHFW_INDIA -a doubling of cash transfers and a major expansion of in-kind support for persons with TB & their household.
Grateful for amazing leadership from Dr. Urvashi Singh at NTEP in advocating for this much-needed action!
Thanks for featuring our work.
@kourakobtoghis1 made the INSTITUT study possible.
We are grateful to our colleagues in Benin & Togo for teaching us so much!

The Union has launched a study to evaluate the value of nutritional support to people with TB in Benin & Togo.
The INSTITUT project will assess the impact on treatment outcomes and nutritional status of people with TB at the end of treatment. https://t.co/UhG2EqL28F #WorldTBDay
Grateful to be working with & learning from our kind, resourceful, & brilliant colleagues in Benin and Togo as we implement a TB-nutrition study funded by @TheUnion_TBLH.
Lucky to have Madolyn Dauphinais & @ChelsieCintron by my side.

@kourakobtoghis1 from @TheUnion_TBLH describing our work on TB-Undernutrition in West Africa at the TB department meeting in Paris today!
Kudos to @ChelsieCintron and Madolyn Dauphinais from @The_BMC for their incredible work getting the project off the ground!

There’s an urgent need to reduce stigma around TB – as links between TB and poor mental health are discussed today.
Research from @Brown_SPH explores the impact on patients’ psychosocial needs and overall well-being.

So excited that @CIDJournal published our paper on the impact of undernutrition before and during TB on treatment outcome.
Nutrition is a modifiable risk factor that we can address to change the trajectory of the TB pandemic.
