It’s shocking how few people know about the #Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas. Why? Because the CDC can’t issue notifications to alert healthcare workers about it. #PublicHealth

Early reports to WHO from the 30 highest #tuberculosis (TB)-burden countries confirm that funding cuts from foreign aid, particularly from USAID, are already dismantling essential TB services. Without urgent action, these setbacks will reverse decades of progress to #EndTB 🔗 bit.ly/4kvsu2i

Yes, #Tuberculosis (TB) is curable! TB is treated with antibiotics taken daily for 4–6 months. ⚠️ Stopping treatment early can lead to drug-resistant TB. Funding cuts & rising drug resistance put the most vulnerable at risk. Sustained support is crucial to #EndTB 👉 bit.ly/4ilkK1h #WorldTBDay

#TBHillDay has been an incredible success with an impact we can only imagine! We're so thankful to everyone who joined us in DC or virtually to help us speak with over TWO HUNDRED congressional offices about #Tuberculosis funding!

John Green @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

Amid the heartbreak in so many directions, it was a wondrous balm to spend today on Capitol Hill with over 200 TB Fighters from every state in the U.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made it happen from @tbfighters.org to @partnersinhealth.bsky.social. Together, we are strong.
