Interesting, and perhaps surprising, data by @LenaFaust1 from @LSHTM_TB

#TB care less disrupted during #COVID19 in prisons in Peru 🇵🇪 compared to general population.

Always local factors impact care.

"The persistence of tuberculosis, despite being preventable and curable, is emblematic of deep and long-standing health inequities that we are failing to address." - @LenaFaust1

Great to see a feature on TB in prisons in this year's @WHO TB report! Challenges in this population include continuity of care between prisons & the community, and the confluence of factors in prisons that⬆️the risk of TB @cugartegil @LeoMarti_EpiTB @paimadhu @StopTBCanada
