Agree. Hoping my MP @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social is supportive of the UK maintaining its funding for The Global Fund!

Really important call from @who.int for data on new #TB diagnostic platform and sampling types. Please share with manufacturers and researchers who are working in this area. hq_globaltuberculosisprogramme.cmail20.com/t/d-e-shuitj...

Thank you @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social for coming to Global Fund and @stoptb.bsky.social office yesterday to discuss #EverythingisTB. Although it was a room of people converted to the cause of fighting for #TB it was a hopeful and inspiring discussion which is very needed right now!

#TBScience has now launched it's call for abstracts. The themes this year are:
- New frontiers in TB treatment development and monitoring
- Artificial Intelligence advancing the TB field
