TB continues to disproportionately affect poor and vulnerable populations; it persists due to limited funding, attention, and advocacy. 🔊Listen to this podcast by @Tweet2PEI, featuring @BasnyatBuddha on infectious diseases in Nepal, focusing on TB. 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=4nM3UP…

Mental health disorders are the most common disability among TB patients, affecting nearly one-quarter of them. @TDRnews 🔗bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Urgent action is needed to integrate #MentalHealth support into TB diagnosis and care for true recovery! #WorldMentalHealthDay

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we highlight #MentalHealth as the missing link in infectious disease care. Read more here: lnkd.in/dhz6chrc And check out the #GlobalHealthMatters podcast episode on empowering youth to address mental health: lnkd.in/dsb3SwKa

Many people with TB experience #depression, #stigma, and #guilt , often fearing to share their diagnosis, even with family. These challenges worsen social, economic, and health outcomes. #MentalHealth care must be integrated into all TB services. #worldmentalhealthday2025 #EndTB
