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

YOUNITE Global proudly presents the **YOUNITE TB Song**—a powerful anthem for TB awareness, early detection, prevention, and treatment. This isn’t just music; it’s a movement to break the stigma and push for a TB-free world.

As the world observes World TB Day this year, ACT! AP calls on Member States, funding partners, and fellow civil society and TB-affected communities to Commit, Invest, and Deliver.

#YesWeCanEndTB #CommitInvestDeliver #WorldTBDay2025

ACT! AP has empowered communities to lead the TB response. Survivors have become champions, breaking stigma, raising awareness, and ensuring people complete treatment. When communities lead, lives are saved.

People-centered, community-led TB responses help reach the most marginalized—rural communities, those facing geographical barriers, and those left behind. TB services must be accessible to ALL.

#YesWeCanEndTB #commitInvestDeliver #WorldTBDay2025

TB isn’t just about medication. It’s about dignity. It’s about mental health. It’s about peer support. Communities are leading the fight—not just against TB but against stigma, discrimination, and the systemic barriers that hold us back.

#YesWeCanEndTb #CommitInvestDeliver #WorldTBDay2025

Communities affected by TB are the experts in what works. Yet, we are still fighting for our voices to be heard in policymaking spaces. No one can replace us in outreach, advocacy, and shaping better TB programs. It’s time for real inclusion!

#YesWeCanEndTB #CommitInvestDeliver #WorldTBDay2025

Asia-Pacific carries two-thirds of the global TB burden. The time to invest in communities is NOW. The time to invest in Asia-Pacific is NOW. It is the right thing to do. It is the wise thing to do.

#yeswecanendtb #commitinvestdeliver #worldtbday2025

Every day, hundreds die from a preventable and curable disease. We have the medicine & the technology. If we’re not ending TB, the problem is no longer the bacteria—it’s the lack of investment, political will, & leadership. The time to act is NOW! #yeswecanendtb #commitinvestdeliver #worldtbday2025

Young leaders are the driving force in the fight to end TB! When we invest in their leadership, we create a future where no one is left behind. It’s time to commit, take action, and eliminate TB !

USAID official dismissed after detailing ‘failure’ to give lifesaving aid USAID official dismissed after detailing ‘failure’ to give lifesaving aid

Nicholas Enrich, USAID’s acting assistant administrator for global health, said that “political leadership” has resulted in an unknown number of deaths — and in tallying the impact, he estimated millions are now at risk of malaria, TB, and polio.

Slashing TB funding doesn’t just stall progress—it abandons people mid-treatment, disrupts care, and costs lives. The world can't afford to look away! #FundTBNow

Clinical trials are a lifeline for many. People who stepped forward for life-saving TB treatment are now left stranded. Pulling funding mid-trial is barbaric #FundTBNow

Services collapsing as USAID cuts health contracts worldwide U.S.-funded health projects around the world, including those providing lifesaving care, received termination notices from Washington on Thursday as President Donald Trump's administration neared completion of a review to ensure grants are aligned with its "America First" policy.

The sheer cruelty of the Trump administration is staggering

Cutting funding doesn’t just harm those most at risk—it puts the entire world in danger. No one is safe until everyone is safe! #FundTBNow

This isn’t just a statistic—it’s lives lost, communities devastated, and progress reversed. We know how to #EndTB, but by cutting funding, we are choosing to let people suffer.
