@RABBIYAUSM Thank you very much, I’m happy to hear that!

@biosquirrel_ Thank you so much for the newsletters. I tnoroughly enjoyed them.

Over the past 1.5 years I’ve been the Editor of TBnet News. Now, as I am leaving TBnet Steering Committee, this is the last TBnet News issue I’m editing. Hope you’ve enjoyed reading it or, at least, looking at the cover pictures I was lovingly making for this purpose.

Join us on 30DEC2024 for an opportunity to look back over the past year in TB research in the final webinar of 2024! tbnet.eu/post/tbnet-web…

TBnet Academy 2024 We thank our hosts from Sotiria Hospital for Chest Diseases, the faculty and all the organisers who made this wonderful event.

Day 2 of the TBnet Academy: The participants gave two state-of-the-art presentations : - TB epidemiology & prevention - TB diagnostics We then heard from Anna Mandalakas and Christoph Lange who tried to answer the one million question: is End TB Strategy a realistic goal?

It has been 6 months since the brutal attacks in #Israel by Hamas and other groups, in which 1,200 people were killed, many more injured and hundreds abducted. @WHO once again condemns this barbaric act of violence and demands the release of remaining hostages. However, this atrocity does not justify the horrific ongoing bombardment, siege and health system demolition by Israel in #Gaza, killing, injuring and starving hundreds of thousands of civilians, including aid workers. The deaths and grievous injuries of thousands of children in Gaza will remain a stain on all of humanity. This assault on present and future generations must end. The denial of basic needs -- food, fuel, sanitation, shelter, security and healthcare -- is inhumane and intolerable. @WHO, alongside our health and humanitarian partners, will continue to serve health workers, patients and communities in Gaza. But continued denial of access means the population's needs far exceed any aid we have been able to deliver so far. The fact that over 70% of deaths in Gaza are women and children should be a compelling reason to halt the war. We urge all parties to silence their guns. We appeal for peace. Now.

Last chance to submit your work for our World TB Day photo competition! Deadline: 8 April 2024. tbnet.eu/post/tbnet-wor…
