The Bridge to Care... Community health workers turn trust into access. Celebrate community health workers and advocate for the resources they need. #FastTracktheCure #EndTB
Every Step Counts! Large leaps of progress are built through many connected, smaller actions. Choose one measurable step and define what better will look like. #FastTracktheCure #EndTB
Share With Care... A post can inform, confuse, or stigmatize. Check before you share. Before your next TB repost, check the basics: Who published it? When was it updated? Is the claim evidence-based? Is the language respectful and people-first? #FastTracktheCure #EndTB
💊Why More Than One Medicine? TB treatment works as a team. Ask your care team to explain the why you've been prescribed the regimen you've been given and how treatment will be monitored. #FastTracktheCure #EndTB
Faster Answers Matter! The right treatment starts with the right information. Advocate for rapid testing that is reachable, reliable, and linked to treatment. #FastTracktheCure #EndTB
❌MYTH: TB Only Affects Poor People
✔️FACT: Anyone can get TB. Risk is not a measure of worth but often a result of circumstance.
We must acknowledge inequities in risk to create change. But we can do that without stigmatizing people.

Drug-Resistant TB, Explained 💡 Resistance is about the bacteria, not the person. Use people-first language: say “a person with DR-TB,” not “a resistant patient.” #FastTracktheCure #EndTB

🤔Imagine a World Without TB... A future where no one is left waiting for the care they need. Name one change that would make TB care more accessible in your community. #FastTracktheCure #EndTB
A cough is not the only sign of #TB.
If you've been in close contact with someone who has #TB or you're at higher risk of getting #TB, don't wait until you feel seriously sick. Get tested early to help you start treatment sooner.
@HealthZA must continue expanding access to #TB testing so that more people are diagnosed early.
What would encourage more people in your community to get tested for #TB?
Why Community Voices Matter — Experience is evidence for better implementation. Invite community representatives early, support their participation, and share how their input impacts decisions and improves outcomes. #FastTracktheCure #EndTB
Why Early Diagnosis Matters? Getting answers sooner can lead to getting treatment sooner. Know the symptoms of TB and encourage timely testing through a trusted health service. #FastTracktheCure #EndTB
