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

This #WorldTBDay, Doctors Without Borders calls for urgent, sustained funding to end #Tuberculosis (TB) in children.

Every year, 1.25 million children get TB, but ONLY HALF are diagnosed and treated. Funding cuts are threatening vital care, putting children at even greater risk.

Today is #WorldTBDay Infectious diseases do not go away. They wait for the opportunity and explode. #TB never went away in most countries. Recent events mean that the advances that have been made over the past decade will be and are being reversed. A very sobering #WorldTBDay indeed. 😢
