Modelled potential impact of funding cuts. Worst case scenario will lead to 2.2 million additional tuberculosis deaths and 10 million additional TB cases between now and 2030. Urgent need for advocacy and mitigation by stepping up other sources of funding. journals.plos.org/globalpubl…

ICMR pays tribute to Dr Dilip Mahalanabis, a public health legend. It is a great loss to the nation. He was a pioneer in the practise of administering oral rehydration therapy (#ORT) that has saved countless lives not only in India but also across the world. #RIP

Despite being preventable & curable, more than 650 children die of TB every day. After speaking with @PowerUSAID in March, @HelloKitty visited a pediatric TB hospital in #India to talk with doctors & families about the challenges faced by children with TB. #StopTBWithHelloKitty

1/ 📢 New paper! #TB morbidity is disproportionately high in men due to ⬆️ risk of infection/disease and ⬇️ access to timely treatment. Addressing these social and programmatic factors should reduce #TB burden in men, but what impact might that have on the rest of the population?
