A week later, we still celebrate #WTBD, held at Isivivana Centre in Khayelitsha, in partnership with Vuka Research Clinic & UCT IDM. We brought researchers and the community together to talk about TB, stigma, and solutions.

Thank you to everyone who was part of this #ENDTB

Day 1 of Keystone Tuberculosis: Understanding the Disease Across Scales. On #WorldTBDay #WTBD. So much good science, from immunology to host and pathogen genomics to antibiotic discovery and lung-on-chip organoid models #KSTB26

#WTBD talk today: Fatima and I will be talking about ending TB by fighting poverty and stigma. See you at 12.30pm GMT on link below!

Amazing work by #StopTB Canada and Australia to make this cool video showing the #WTBD lit-up monuments around the country, and the advocates working to ending this disease!
Nice to see the Nunavik Public Health TB Team in front of the Kuujjuaq Inuksuk!

How Does TB Spread?

TB spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs, or speaks; tiny droplets carry the bacteria.

🚫 It does not spread by touch, food, or drinks.
✅ Good ventilation helps! Open windows to let fresh air in & reduce risk.
