"We call on all countries to invest in expanding access to effective tools against tuberculosis, and in new tools to #EndTB," says @WHO chief @DrTedros at a press briefing yesterday in Geneva ahead of #WorldTBDay on 24 March.
Today is #WorldTBDay.
#Tuberculosis - also known as TB - remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious killers.
Each day, over 4,100 people lose their lives to it & close to 28,000 people fall ill with this preventable & curable disease.

As a Maternal & Child health organisation working in the rural Eastern Cape we get to see how unjust the system can be. Poverty, malnutrition, access to healthcare, inequality are but some of the issues confronted everyday in areas such as Nyandeni. #HumanRightsDay#HumanRights
OTOA celebrates every women and organisation geared towards bridging the gaps of inequality, promoting inclusion and diversity. (3/3) #IWD#BreakingTheBias#mentormothers#OTOA

We are a critical moment in time. Now more than ever, governments are seeing the value in #CHW programmes. We need to ensure that we use the momentum created by #COVID19 to generate lasting and meaningful investment in these programmes.
During #COVID19, interest in #communityhealth has skyrocketed📈
But we know such programs sometimes fail.
How do we ensure #CHW programs in which we invest during the #pandemic will continue to provide ⚕️health & 🪙 economic returns long after it?
