Thanks to @CoryBooker for introducing the SIGHT Act in the Senate! The bill, which was introduced in the House last fall, encourages @USAIDGH to move beyond siloes to embrace a disease-agnostic approach to #GlobalHealth R&D. booker.senate.gov/news/press/boo…

By 2050, #AMR is predicted to cause up to 10 million deaths annually without effective interventions. DR-TB is a significant contributor to the global AMR burden. Today, Dr. Salah Foraida spoke on the need for global collaboration. #EndTB

We are proud to announce a four-year award through the U.S. Department of Defense for research and development exploring host-directed approaches for treating #tuberculosis. Learn more about this work here: tballiance.org/news/tb-allian… #EndTB

A world without #TB is possible. Together with global leaders, health organizations, and communities, we can achieve the goal to #EndTB by 2030. We must work together to fight this age-old disease. #SDGs #GlobalHealth
