🔸~28000 new cases

Let's #EndTB

Only 2⃣ in 3⃣ people with #tuberculosis are known to be getting quality care and #COVID19 is making this worse. We need to scale up systematic screening and access to essential TB services to #EndTB.

“An estimated 1.4 million fewer people received care for TB in 2020, compared with 2019”, says @drtedros at @WHO presser, noting that it’s #WorldTBDay tomorrow and that #covid19 has disrupted services. “We fear that more than half a million more people may have died. "
@DrTedros @WHO “In January, I said that the world was on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure unless urgent steps were taken to ensure equitable distribution of vaccines”, says @drtedros. “We have the means to avert this failure. But it's shocking how little has been done to avert it.”
@DrTedros @WHO "Countries that are now vaccinating younger, healthy people at low risk of disease are doing so at the cost of the lives of health workers, older people, and other at risk groups, in other countries”, says @DrTedros.
