TB is the single most deadly infectious killer of humankind. New research shows food and proper nutrition work like a vaccine against the disease.
Global health researchers, funders and journals are not walking the talk on equity, diversity and inclusion.
High-income country experts and institutions are valued more than expertise in low- and middle-income countries.
Tuberculosis kills more people globally than any other infectious disease. A human-rights approach and investment in quality care are essential to ending the global epidemic.
We cannot end TB with century-old technologies and poor quality care. It is time to reinvent the way we are managing TB, and overcome our collective failures of the imagination.
Countries globally should adopt and adapt the World Health Organization’s new Essential Diagnostics List – as a key step in the management of all diseases.
On World TB Day 2018, eradicating TB finally looks like a goal that could be met — if political leaders can step up with cash and actions to match their political declarations.
India has a radical new plan to eliminate TB, backed by research and technological expertise. The country just needs strong financial and political commitment from government to implement it.
