Still much work to do but together, in solidarity and with action, we will continue to fight to ensure everyone gets the healthcare they need. No matter who they are, or where they are from. #PatientsNotPassports with Medact & Migrants Organise

We also heard from Kinz Ul Eman (The Dopasi Foundation), Dr Kundai Chinyenze (IAVI) and @drjesspotter.bsky.social (UKAPTB).

Thank you to all our wonderful speakers for highlighting political will and investment are key to ending TB.

Absolutely could be...we certainly haven't done well at preventing it after arrival: Lack of ltbi screening and treatment but also cost of living crisis, more overcrowding, worse housing, undernutrition, poor treatment of people seeking asylum, break down of primary care all contribute I think.

Key question to the @StopTB board was how can we develop the political will to tackle this. @WHO @TerezaKasaeva suggested including it as a metric in country-level data they collect for the global report. It should also be part of the Multi-sectoral accountability framework.

Some amazing work from @OneImpactWorld and others on measuring stigma and mobilising communities, laws and policy-makers to tackle it. stoptbpartnershiponeimpact.org#clmframework

Also interesting to hear how he found some of the first evidence for this by re-analysing a population of patients from Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, UK: Can social interventions prevent tuberculosis?: the Papworth experiment (1918-1943) revisited: www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/...

Thanks so much to our chairs, panel & audience for a fantastic discussion thinking about inclusive policies, novel tools to support care for people on the move & the tension between the security agenda & right to healthcare.
