Truth and reconciliation efforts are year-round. We must keep talking, listening, and learning.

Our leaders must #endTB within our borders NOW.

Many TB medicines are not marketed in Canada. Accessing these drugs requires complex regulatory pathways that lead to delays. People in Canada deserve timely access to new TB regimens that are available around in world.
