Pleased to participate in XV BRICS TB Research Network Meeting. I contributed to BRICS discussions & shared vital World Health Organization (WHO) priorities & perspectives to advance TB research & innovation, to accelerate #EndTB response. It's been a privilege to be engaged in the network since 2014.

Vaccines are among the most powerful inventions in history, making once-feared diseases preventable.

With continued research, investment and collaboration, we can save millions more lives today and in the next 50 years. #HumanlyPossible

On #WorldTBDay , Atul Gawande visited a site in New Delhi where USAID is extending access to tuberculosis services for urban communities, w/ a focus on elderly people, women, & children experiencing homelessness. As we progress toward our goals, we strive to leave no one behind.

Yes! We need a new #tuberculosis (TB) vaccine:

1⃣ The current and only TB vaccine doesn't fully protect adolescents & adults, who account for most TB transmissions.
2⃣ Investing in a new TB vaccine could prevent up to 76 million people from falling ill with TB over 25 years,

TB doesn't take day off,even on Sunday,it's a day 4 reflection & action.Let's reflect on impactof TB & use thisopportunity 2 educate & promote early detection,treatment & support the affected. #WorldTBDay2024 Ministry of Health NTLD Network of TB Champions Kenya CHS WHO Kenya The Respiratory Society of Kenya.

Hoy es el #DíaMundialDeLaTuberculosis .
Cada año alrededor de 325.000 personas en las 🌎 se enferman de TB, de las cuales 83.000 no son diagnosticadas ni tratadas. Voluntad política, financiamiento, innovación y participación de las comunidades, son esenciales para el #FinDeLaTB .

We’ve made amazing progress when it comes to the tools needed to prevent, diagnose & treat tuberculosis.

But to truly #EndTB , governments & health systems must ensure equitable access to diagnostics & medication for everyone, everywhere.
