@paimadhu calls for the phasing out of smear microscopy & replacing it w/rapid molecular testing. Otherwise, how do we know what we are treating? Yes! We need this to make the new shorter 1/4/6/24 regimens available for everyone. @TBECoalition @StopTBUSA @#aids2022 #tb @StopTB – at Montréal, Québec
.@paimadhu: “this campaign is a no-brainer. We’ve been begging for years for shorter regimens…i want to see every TB group in the world get behind this…let’s commit to this campaign and let’s also commit to growing the pie for tuberculosis”

Dr. Pai also stresses that we can't get to where we need to be diagnosing TB with sputum - we need molecular testing.

We’ll be live-tweeting this event - follow along if you’d like! #AIDS2022
There’s still time to get to this meeting - just a two-minute walk from the #AIDS2022 convention hall! Join us as we launch the 1/4/6 x 24 Campaign to fight for shorter TB regimens around the world. Everyone living with TB has a right to benefit from these new regimens!
Diptendu Bhatacharya retweeted
What can the 1/4/6 x 24 coalition do? Some of Sharonann Lynch's ideas:
-Build and amplify the evidence base: identify gaps and needs
-Collectively develop goals and strategies
-Engage industry
-Find funding for national advocacy
-Support and inspire each other!

.@ketho6: urges the Indian government to update guidelines on TB prevention, for powerful actors to stop using community voices as nothing but a rubber stamp, and for grassroots activists to mobilize ✊

Harry Hausler of TB/HIV Care: we need local manufacturers to produce needed drugs - the lack of this has held us back with rifapentine. We also need donors to step up, and for civil society to handle messaging, create demand and implement community-led monitoring

TAG Exec Director Mark Harrington: please sign up to take action on next steps. He commends South Africa as leader in implementing shorter evidence-based regimens, as they did when they became first country to widely roll out bedaquiline-based treatment for drug-resistant TB👏

Gloriah Kerubo Moses, youth TB activist and member of the TB Community Advisory Board: we owe it to the next generation to win shorter regimens ✊🙌👏

Agree that we must keep pushing to accelerate global progress against TB and seek equity so that those in need have access to optimal diagnostics and treatment services!
