Excited to see this announcement from @MoHFW_INDIA -a doubling of cash transfers and a major expansion of in-kind support for persons with TB & their household. Grateful for amazing leadership from Dr. Urvashi Singh at NTEP in advocating for this much-needed action!

Thanks for featuring our work. @kourakobtoghis1 made the INSTITUT study possible. We are grateful to our colleagues in Benin & Togo for teaching us so much! Thanks @ChelsieCintron for spearheading INSTITUT & Madolyn Dauphinais for keeping us on track! @tiara_boston @The_BMC

The Union has launched a study to evaluate the value of nutritional support to people with TB in Benin & Togo. The INSTITUT project will assess the impact on treatment outcomes and nutritional status of people with TB at the end of treatment. theunion.org/news/assessing… #WorldTBDay

Grateful to be working with & learning from our kind, resourceful, & brilliant colleagues in Benin and Togo as we implement a TB-nutrition study funded by @TheUnion_TBLH. Lucky to have Madolyn Dauphinais & @ChelsieCintron by my side. @kourakobtoghis1 is here in spirit!

Congratulations to Epi PhD student Chelsie Cintron for her recent presentation at the World Conference on Lung Health hosted by the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease!

@kourakobtoghis1 from @TheUnion_TBLH describing our work on TB-Undernutrition in West Africa at the TB department meeting in Paris today! Kudos to @ChelsieCintron and Madolyn Dauphinais from @The_BMC for their incredible work getting the project off the ground! @tiara_boston

There’s an urgent need to reduce stigma around TB – as links between TB and poor mental health are discussed today. Research from @Brown_SPH explores the impact on patients’ psychosocial needs and overall well-being. #EndTB #UnionConf2023

So excited that @CIDJournal published our paper on the impact of undernutrition before and during TB on treatment outcome. Nutrition is a modifiable risk factor that we can address to change the trajectory of the TB pandemic. Link: bit.ly/3OQ9j3P @nhochMD @id_bmc
