Stress in the morning!

Imagine getting an early morning call and one asking to "kindly help". What help ? Not buying coffee seedlings, not poultry feeds ,nothing. But asking a contribution towards their mbaga (celebration/party) for arsenal . Very annoying

We need a serious mindset change!

[Stop TB Partnership @StopTB]

Great piece @NPR on the promise & challenges of using #AI to screen for #TB.

Regulation is vital, but as the article notes, in many places the alternative to AI is no radiologist at all.
We must embrace innovation while ensuring safety. #EndTB #AIforGood

Trust no politician, even those who engage in a struggle, greed is always at the center of it and it is always a struggle for themselves and those around them.

TB health workers, hospitals, labs & TB care platforms have been instrumental in the fight against #COVID19. It came with a cost of lives & suffering for people with TB. It is time to #InvestToEndTB and recover from the losses. #WorldTBDay

Every day, more than 4,100 people die from TB, an airborne preventable & treatable disease. We cannot stand on the sidelines while people fall ill & die, this #WorldTBDay, we call on everyone to invest love, support, care, resources, funding to #endTB & save lives! #InvestToEndTB
