TB anywhere is TB everywhere! We can't wait for the U.S. to come back to their senses to fund the fight to #EndTB again. We must all work hard to find new ways to #FundTB & see partners #CommitInvestDeliver. Thanks @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social for raising awareness!

Who says tuberculosis has a PR problem? Thanks to John Green, TB community has managed to raise its voice loud and clear to share that the situation is still bad on the ground after the US funding cuts. And action is needed now to mitigate the damage done. @tbcommunityhub.bsky.social #TbSky

New pre-print modelling impact of US funding cuts on HIV, #TB, MCH and family planning. We estimate impact of termination of US funding to NTPs via #USAID & The Global Fund may lead to 2.2 (1.5-2.9) million excess TB deaths between 2025 and 2040, reversing over a decade of progress.

bit.ly/4lowp18
Line chart showing median number of TB deaths in 79 low- and middle-income countries from 2010 through 2040. A black line shows a decline from 1.25 million deaths in 2010 to just under 1 million deaths in 2024. A blue line shows the number of deaths staying constant through 2040 if 2024 funding and programmes are maintained. A red line shows the number of deaths increasing to 1.2 million in 2040 if US funding to national TB programmes is terminated.

Did you know that #Tuberculosis is linked with malnutrition? Malnourished children are at much higher risk of developing TB disease. And food is a simple protection against TB disease for children who are contacts with TB. More about MSF's work: www.msf.org/tactic-tuber...
