Today we mark #WorldTuberculosisDay with Prof Prof Helen ayles 💙 who leads the EDCTP funded TREATS project and highlights the importance of TB diagnosis in times of COVID to #EndTB #TheClockIsTicking @zambartresearch

This #WorldTBDay ’s theme is ‘clock is ticking’. It's time to translate commitments to #endTB into urgent action.

#Diabetes is a recognized re-emerging risk & challenge to #TB control, as individuals with diabetes have 3 times the risk of developing TB.
