Wealth has a large impact on quality of care, or even if one gets care, as individuals like Dr. Robitzek saw in his personal and professional life. How does income impact a person’s experience with TB, both today and in the past? #TBReaders

Henry Reider, his mother Isatu, and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social were invited to speak at the Union World Conference on Lung Health last week! However, much like Henry's struggle with TB, Henry and Isatu's path to get to the conference was not an easy one #WCLH2025 #TBSky

What if you could fight back against the dismantling of USAID by speaking to those in power about the importance of global health aid? And you could open the door for TB experts and survivors to share their experiences with decision makers? tbfighters.org/hill-day/

A recurring theme we see in The Black Angels is nurses, especially black nurses, not being allowed to speak their minds, even when it was in the best interest of their patients. #TBReaders

Chapter 4 of The Black Angels accounts how poverty and overcrowding led to higher rates of disease and death in the Black neighborhoods of Harlem. How are these the result of human choices and human-built systems? #TBReaders
