World Without TB (WWTB), a registered UK charity, seeks global eradication of TB through identification of safe and effective short duration treatment regimes.
Mon, March 24th is #WorldTB Day. Ending #TB needs commitment and investment in high burden countries. Failure to do this constitutes scientific and moral failure.
We cannot afford to wait to eliminate this 3 000 year old, yet curable and preventable disease!
Pleased to state that our Prof #AminaJindani won the Outstanding Research Award 23/24 at @StGeorgesUni in Dec ' 24 for her #TB work. https://t.co/kko3bAJ2yz

InterTB Symposium (https://t.co/lI3Ln1EYiX) .
Today is #WorldTBDay. #TB remains the leading cause of death among all the communicable diseases. However, WHO has now rolled out a four-month treatment which offers some hope in the increase in cure rates, reduced mortality, reduced transmission of TB. https://t.co/3OwA4hA7ON
Thanks to Anusha for raising over £1000 for #WWTB at the recent #BrightonHalf Marathon!! Well done!! Can you help us raise funds during #RideLondon in May 2024? We have places available.

2024 #INTERTB Symposium, was opened by Prof Jon Friedland, included: updates on the #RIFASHORT trial
- future implications, new #RIFASHORT persister study results from Mike Barer, #Truncate-TB Trial, Pretomanid for Tuberculosis (APT) trial, PANACEA group, and Global Alliance.
Higher dose and shorter treatment time of a key #TB drug has proven to be safe for patients in clinical trial led by researchers at #SGUL - inc. #AJindani. Results published in #NEJM Evidence https://t.co/EYpJLpP0kf
Tomorrow is #WorldTBDay2023 - Although the pandemic has impacted advances in the global elimination of #TB, the #WHO has rolled out the first 4month treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. This will result in a significant improvement in cure rates and reduce TB transmission!
We wont have a runner in this year's #LondonMarathon unfortunately, but you can still continue to support our work on #TB eradication! https://t.co/4ZyjrTRWsl
The annual #INTERTB Symposium was on Mon Oct 17 at St. George’s, University of London. The event was attended by over 100 people in person and online with speakers from around the world. Such collaboration is essential in tackling the challenge of #TB! @SGUL_III
