There are lessons to be learned from the story of TB drug bedaquiline which should have been affordable a decade ago but wasn't. An article by @Christo51566018, @johnroshanj and me sharing this cautionary tale that should never be repeated again. https://t.co/oSRT7YL1EL

Pharmaceutical corporations greed is never ending!

[Just Treatment 💊 @JustTreatment]

🚨 £3bn diverted from the #NHS budget to boost big pharma profits.

Thousands of patients will die every year because of this, but the government decided that was a price worth paying to please Donald Trump and big pharma.

Great initiative. Doctors often ignore symptoms of heaving bleeding and cramps, saying that it can happen. I was diagnosed only after two years by my Gynec in Europe despite me complaining about the same several times. This really needs a change of mindset of pvt. doctors too.

Most Indian women are undetected, undiagnosed for endometriosis, now ICMR to roll out multidisciplinary care to diagnose and treat in public hospitals

Glad to have been part of an invigorating 3-day workshop to accelerate the uptake of new WHO TB policies across the WHO European region. Experts from 12 countries joined in—national TB programmes, labs, implementers, donors, civil society & technical partners. 🧵

Great investigative journalism
Incredible story on an international kidney racket
Sounds so similar to the medical tourism for kidney/other organs happening in India where only low-level middlemen get arrested, never the hospital managements or the doctors involved

This upcoming book will be super relevant in current US fund freeze context and make people understand a) TB still exists and b) TB anywhere is TB everywhere. Thanks @johngreen for your persistent efforts to make people aware about tuberculosis, the world's deadliest disease.

@SauravDassss This is what happens when you give the control of a SM handle to a person (most likely a youngster) with no guidelines on how to manage it!

@kunalpurohit In addition to what you said, I think they should first also think about providing a sustainable support system for our sports people so that we can win more medals first being the third-largest economy of the world!

Calling on TB community everywhere: Global TB Community Hub is collecting evidence on impact of USAID fund freeze for further amplifying it. Great if you can spare some time to fill this survey: https://t.co/IXmhnU9uXl

Some commendable work being done by @Public_Citizen team. Bravo!

Breaking: a fed court blocked Trump’s forced leave & evacuations at USAID for another week, extending the restraining order until Feb 21.

“All USAID employees on admin leave shall be reinstated” til that date.

We will invest that week fighting for an injunction, to reopen USAID

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

.@WHO expresses deep concern about the implications of the United States government’s immediate funding pause for #HIV programmes in low- and middle-income countries. These programmes provide access to life-saving HIV therapy to more than 30 million people worldwide.

This funding halt can put people living with HIV at immediate increased risk of illness and death and undermine efforts to prevent transmission in communities and countries.

Such measures, if prolonged, could lead to rises in new infections and deaths, reversing decades of progress and potentially taking the world back to the 1980s and 1990s when millions died of HIV every year globally, including many in the USA.

We call on the US government to enable additional exemptions to ensure the delivery of lifesaving HIV treatment and care: https://t.co/Ljq8foAoxz

Madison Keys’ beautiful words to her team & husband after winning Australian Open

“I’ve wanted this for so long. I’ve been in 1 other slam final. I didn’t know if I’d be able to get back here. My team believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself” 🥹

Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇
