As we wrap up TB Month, we sincerely thank our partner clinics Micheal Maphongwana (26 March), Luvuyo (27 March), and Matthew Goniwe (31 March) for hosting impactful community events.
Together, we brought essential health services closer to the people while promoting key
Community TB education and testing with Kuyasa Clinic and Michael M Clinic, plus an education session at Emithini Primary School.
Anyone who breathes can get TB — get tested. #EndTB #WorldTBDay

#WorldTBDay2025 thanks @drjudystone.bsky.social for highlighting new WHO recommendations on tongue swabs & nPOC platforms to expedite #TB diagnosis. @R2D2TB Hope programs will rapidly implement & engage communities in efforts @tbproof.bsky.social @madhupai.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/judyst...
New tools alone won’t #endTB.
We need policy, funding, and community at the centre. @ingridschoeman.bsky.social co-authored an article that explores why a “whole-of-society” approach is the only way forward.

South Africa’s TB dashboard is more than data — it’s a tool to strengthen testing, accountability, and community action. Used right, it can help reach those most at risk. #EndTB

After surviving XDR-TB and an 18-month treatment, Mirriam is now sharing her powerful story with the world through the BBC, reminding us that recovery continues beyond treatment and post-TB care matters. #PostTBCare #posttb
Our AGM reaffirmed our commitment to a people-centred TB response. Priorities include strengthening TB Champions, expanding access to TB testing, addressing stigma, and supporting health system strengthening — all critical to accelerating progress towards ending TB. #EndTB
ICYMI | Why are so many people in South Africa unaware and seemingly unconcerned about the extraordinarily high numbers of people infected with TB in our country? Could we take TB more seriously as a country?

Our Director presented at the TB Oxford Meeting today, advocating for local TB champions to strengthen TB programme implementation, and emphasised the importance of training healthcare workers on new TB policies, including testing, prevention, and post-TB care. #EndTB
As the year comes to a close, we’re grateful for our community and partners who continue to make this work possible. Thank you for standing with us and driving change alongside us. #EndTB
It calls for stronger post-TB care, survivor-centred support, and health systems that listen to lived experiences.

“Even after treatment, the effects of TB don’t disappear. They stay with you in your body, your life, and your community.”
This article explores the long-term physical, mental, social and economic impacts of TB, showing why being declared “cured” is not the end of the journey for many survivors.
On this World AIDS Day, TB Proof partnered with the Mfuleni community to bring TB and HIV education and testing closer to the people. #EndTB #WAD2025
Key take aways:
• TPT protects families by treating TB infection before it becomes disease.
• Shorter options exist, including 3HP (once a week for 3 months).
Raising awareness and support for TPT is key to protecting our communities. #posttb #PostTBCare #EndTB
On 28 Nov we held a TB Preventive Therapy (TPT) workshop with our Post-TB group. We covered what TPT is, new national guidelines, available regimens and the real challenges people face starting or completing treatment.
As this phase comes to an end, we want to thank our Champions for their dedication — bringing TB education and testing into communities and working with facilities to strengthen person-centred care.
The impact continues, and we look forward to working together again. #EndTB

We wrapped up with a deep dive into advocacy priorities for post-TB care. Exhausted but inspired. #EndTB #PostTBCare
Day 3 and still going strong at the Union conference on Lung Health- We began with the Post-TB Working Group, joined a powerful march advocating for TB in children, and had important discussions on how the funding cuts in South Africa are affecting communities.
Both Phumeza and Ingrid delivered strong presentations. More updates will follow throughout the week. #UnionConf2025 #EndTB
