@jannashaw @living_marble Neverending Story had that move in the opening scene and it wasn't the good guys doing it

Thank you so much. Really really humbled and glad with this rousing response 🙏 #UNHLMTB #UNHLM

We know and we need to act while we gather more knowledge. Important to ensure that the same intensity and quality of interventions for TB are available in a comprehensive manner in all settings. nytimes.com/2018/09/26/opi…

What and an amazing few days it's been with my fellow TB stars, speaking at the UNHLM for TB. TB is the leading infectious killer in the world, killing more than 1million people each year. Do not be afraid, TB is curable! Let's find those missing cases. @StopTB #BreakTheStigma

“Your Declaration will make a difference only if it is backed by actions. People affected by TB have a burning desire to shake the status quo. Esteemed leaders, I can’t hear you today, but I’ll make sure you hear me – loud & clear.” @nandita_venky #UNHLMTB

Leaders of Indonesia, India and Maldives speaking on a panel moderated by ⁦@LucicaDitiu⁩ ⁦@StopTB⁩

@tubercuLOLsis @JimYongKim @ZEROTBCITIES approach could definitely use the @WorldBank behind it.

@IAPAC @FastTrackCities @StopTB @TBAlliance @TheUnion_TBLH @HIVTB @WHO Looking forward to working together going forward!

#Tuberculosis is prominently featured in Paris Declaration on @FastTrackCities, meaning cities & municipalities committed to accelerate #AIDS responses are also committed to accelerate #TB responses; we need partners: @StopTB @ZEROTBCITIES @TBAlliance @TheUnion_TBLH @HIVTB @WHO

Wonderful to host Drs Aamir Khan & Uzma Khan from @IRDGlobal. Sharing knowledge and approaches in implementing a comprehensive approach to eliminate TB @BurnetInstitute @ZEROTBCITIES Impressive work in Karachi and the region!

"Why aren’t outbreaks in poor countries treated the same way as those in rich ones?" .@NYTimes slams double standards in #TB prevention & care, echoing calls from @ZEROTBCITIES to radically raise ambitions & alter strategy. #SearchTreatPrevent #UNHLMTB nytimes.com/2018/09/26/opi…

TB elimination is achievable only if we search actively for the disease, give treatment to everyone who needs it, and prioritize prevention strategies. @ZEROTBCITIES @StopTB @s_keshavjee nyti.ms/2N7e1IZ

We are getting ready with our #TBStars all set to #EndTB @DrWaheedArian @raniareena @Rahma_sadau @TamarynGreen @GerriLiive @shabnam_surayo @BebeCoolUG @bflowmusic #UNHLMTB

@cdmitpih @nytimes Indeed, a shocking misunderstanding of value of preventive care (that the editorial board doesn't share, apparently). This one paper should have at a minimum encouraged programs to intensify preventive treatment among recent contacts!

⁦@nytimes⁩ gets it wrong. Even if most TB occurs within 2 years of infection, prevention of active TB can still save millions of lives and $. False dichotomy between preventing and treating #tuberculosis. Both are essential to humanity. #hlmtb nyti.ms/2Dq0hJM?smid=n…
