The TBMAC intro course is always a highlight of #UnionConf, and I loved being a tutor this year! We equipped a new audience with a clear understanding of how TB models are set up and what they can do to drive policy #EndTB #WCLH2025 #GlobalHealth
We had an amasing time in Copenhagen at the World Conference on Lung Health - The Union 2025 #UNIONCONF

#UnionConf
Didn't make it to #UnionConf in person this year but at least got my name on a poster, together with a bunch of good folks from @stoptbcanada.bsky.social.
(Definitely wouldn't have been as dapper a presenter as @yassentch.bsky.social though).
At the #UnionConf World Conference on Lung Health in Copenhagen, our Steering Committee member, Dr @yassentch.bsky.social presented how gaps in Canada’s health system make it harder for people to get the TB medicines they need, and how providers are helping drive change.
