Really engaging meetings last week with diverse perspectives from national programmes, policy makers, civil society, and researchers as we discussed ways forward on s̶u̶b̶c̶l̶i̶n̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ asymptomatic TB and TB screening.
Screening & active case finding are vital to closing the global gap in #TB treatment. @WHO held a technical consultation this week with TB programs, civil society, researchers&experts to review country practices, evidence, & new diagnostics for updated screening guidance. #EndTB

In 2019, @Meredith_McC clapped back at JD Vance, the author of Hillbilly Elegy and today, Trump’s new running mate. “Hillbillies Need No Elegy” was one of those great stories that echo round the world — twice! . Time to read it again : .
