At the #UnionConf2025, Dr. Yellappa, KNCV expert and Vice Chair of the Global TB-PPM Working Group, joined conversations on how #PPM accelerates early dx, treatment access, and person-centred care.
How can we build a comprehensive TB response requires all hands on deck, including the private sector?
#SSHIFTB contributors Amrita Daftary, Nora Engel, and Stephen Molldrem speaking at the #Unionconf2025 symposium: "Generating social science evidence alongside TB trials: Opportunities and impacts".
Followed by a SSHIFTB gathering afterwards!

we have to bring TB into the discussion of climate change and climate change into TB programs. The vulnerabilities are shared. We should be designing interventions that improve resilience to both. A huge thank you to Matthew Saunders for his fantastic presentation at #UnionConf2025
The conference provided an opportunity to learn from global partners and reaffirm a shared belief: ending TB is only possible when every person is seen, supported, and connected to timely care.💪

SCDI at the Union World Conference on Lung Health 🌟
This #UnionConf2025, we proudly shared our two community models - Community System to End TB (CSET) and the DRIVE-TB project - that bring TB services closer to those who need them most.
🎯 Final day of #UnionConf2025!
As we wrap up a week of science, advocacy, and collaboration, we are proud to support colleagues presenting research and innovations. Their work is advancing progress toward ending TB — and collective attention helps ensure these insights reach the world.
