Given the #stigma associated with #tuberculosis, even routine social interactions become difficult for children & family members of TB patients/survivors. It must be remembered that the disease is not hereditary, & a patient stops spreading it once they're on treatment.

Reminder: #COVID19 vaccine shortages will be because big pharma hoarded the technology, and countries hoarded the supply. Daily chart – Rich countries grab half of projected covid-19 vaccine supply economist.com/graphic-detail…

Of the many myths surrounding #tuberculosis, most widespread is that it affects only the poor. Even affluent & healthy people can get TB when their immunity is lowered because of other #diseases, stress, etc. Thus, the emphasis on balanced diet & good hygiene. #WednesdayWisdom

@OperationASHA is one of the youngest NGOs featured in top-100 NGOs of the world by @ngoadvisor. Not only that, but it also has the LOWEST operating budget in that class. Yet we've managed to take #tuberculosis & other #healthcare services to the doorsteps of the poorest.

This defies belief! #Tuberculosis bacteria thrive and flourish in human immune cells that are supposed to kill them. And immune cells end up killing their counterparts to control infection, leaving the bacteria unscathed. Nature's arms race at its wildest! bit.ly/2EPr7Mp

B/w COVID & TB, #India is now the epicentre of two deadly respiratory infectious diseases. Here's why we need to talk about TB, when everyone is talking about COVID19. Proud to be on the cover of @thecaravanindia 's August issue. caravanmagazine.in/health/wh…

What tuberculosis can teach India about COVID-19

India's dealing with tuberculosis severely compromised the country’s ability to fight COVID-19 even before the battle began.
