For the past 6 months, the APPG has been undertaking an inquiry into the rising rates of TB in the UK.
Ahead of World TB Day, we launched a report outlining our findings and recommendations for @ukparliament.parliament.uk to adopt.

‼️He reminded @ukparliament.parliament.uk that TB killed 1.25 million people in 2023 - likely making it the world’s leading infectious disease killer once again.
📈Here in the UK, cases are rising too, with a 13% increase in England last year. TB is a global & domestic threat we cannot ignore.
🗓️Last week, Chair of the @appgtb.bsky.social, @sojanjosephmp.bsky.social, spoke up for the millions affected by TB and rightly called for continued UK support to the Global Fund - the largest external funder of TB programmes. #EndTB #YesWeCanEndTB
We also heard from Kinz Ul Eman (The Dopasi Foundation), Dr Kundai Chinyenze (IAVI) and @drjesspotter.bsky.social (UKAPTB).
Thank you to all our wonderful speakers for highlighting political will and investment are key to ending TB.
