The most important action needed for getting rid of hepatitis B!

[Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance @gavi]

Hepatitis B is preventable, yet too many newborns in Africa miss out on the birth-dose vaccine. See how Gavi is working to change this: https://t.co/pJtLJVMmj9 #WorldHepatitisDay

@hepatitisfund Birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine is the key to eliminating hepatitis B — #GAVI support, country-level policy change and broad implementation can make it happen. Let’s go!

‘Essential first step’: HIV study demonstrates potential of long-acting ART in Africa https://t.co/9f3bucnSGc

Hi. Some news: I’m on Capitol Hill today, where Dr. Atul Gawande just announced that @USAID will commit $10,000,000 this year to radically reduce TB in the Philippines. Together with a million dollars from our family and matching funds from the government of the Philippines, over $22,000,000 will go this year toward comprehensive care to radically reduce tuberculosis.

Over the next four years, we hope a total commitment of over $80,000,000 will allow the Department of Health to train and employ community health workers, nurses, and doctors to find cases of TB, provide curative treatment to the sick, and offer preventative care to their close contacts. We know this comprehensive Screen-Treat-Prevent strategy is the key to ending tuberculosis.

(Part of the reason we’re able to do this for the relatively low price of $80,000,000, incidentally, is because both @jnj’s bedaquiline and @danaher’s GeneXpert tests have recently become cheaper after public pressure campaigns. Activism at work!)

I believe we simply can’t end TB without these kinds of public/private partnerships. After all, that’s how we ended smallpox, radically reduced the burden of polio, and have driven down death from malaria and HIV. Public money is an essential part of fighting disease, so if you’ve ever paid a federal tax, you’re part of this story.

For too long, impoverished governments and communities have been denied the resources to offer this kind of comprehensive care, but we hope this initiative can be a blueprint and a beacon to show the world that we simply don’t have to accept a world where over a million people die every year of a curable disease. Together with USAID and an extraordinarily committed team in the Philippines, we want to show the world the path to end TB.
