Frontline healthcare workers dispelling darkness below the lamp Please consider the below article based on interview with a migrant worker's experience of getting active TB disease. Despite living behind one of the best government-run free clinics, he could only access care when a frontline healthcare worker met him. Frontline workers bridge most-in-need people with lifesaving public services.

Will the drive to find-treat-prevent TB continue till we end TB? Please consider the below article based on our interview with government TB officer who has served Kangra for ~30 years now. 100 days drive to find, treat and prevent TB in India in high-risk populations should not end in 100 days rather get scaled up and expanded population-wide till we end TB eventually. There are a lot of learnings he has shared that can improve programme outcomes if taken into account...

Please consider the below article based on insights from a range of gender justice leaders on the conflicting positions of several countries - where they have endorsed legally binding treaties like CEDAW to advance gender justice and human rights (and a range of other Declarations, Agreements and commitments including domestic laws and policies), and on other hand are also pushing anti-rights efforts

Black Angels remind us of centuries of injustices plaguing the TB response Please consider the below article based on interviews with a "black angel" nurse who is over 93 years old today and served in Seaview hospital (one of the 4 hospitals (out of 93) in New York where black nurses were allowed to work a century ago). White nurses REFUSED to take care of TB patients at Seaview so patients 100 years ago called them with respect as BLACK ANGELS (as there was no cure back then).

Failure to find all TB cases defeats us in #endTB efforts Please consider the below article based on interviews with two frontline leaders - Dr Erlina who has led from the front in the fight against TB (and drug-resistant TB too) as well as two-times TB (and drug-resistant TB) survivor. Unless we FIND ALL people with TB and put them on treatment (so that infection stops spreading) how will we end TB? In 2023, we missed ~3 million people with TB globally (as per WHO Global TB Report

Medicines save lives but not when they stop working Please consider the below article based upon interview with those who are living with drug-resistant infections on a daily basis. Gabriella was born with a condition (cystic fibrosis) that makes her prone to lung infections - and battled drug-resistant infections for years and continues to do so. We need newer medicines but no excuse to misuse or overuse medicines we have. Let us protect the medicines we have that save us.

Are we on the wrong side of the #endTB track? Please consider the below article based on insights from those who have served the fight against TB for decades - including TB survivor and people living with HIV. Of course, over the decades a lot of work has been done to control TB- but we are still not in TB-elimination mode. Millions have got lifesaving TB services but millions more have also got newly infected with TB - year after year. High time we move to end TB mode.

Inconvenient question: Science is gifting us new HIV prevention tools but is it expanding choices for the people? Please consider the below article based upon insights from Jim Pickett who has devotedly worked all his life to advance community-centric HIV prevention research for those whose needs are most acute in high burden settings. The long delay of years and decades in rolling out new HIV prevention tools and converting scientific gains into public health impact (reduction in new cases) is unacceptable.

Young people do not want a future with looming threat of antimicrobial resistance Please consider the below article based on interviews with two youth leaders who are actively campaigning to protect the medicines that protect us! Misuse and overuse of medicines is causing microbes to become resistant to medicine - and infections that were easily curable earlier are becoming difficult (or even impossible) to treat.
