Excellent #ConferenceApp developed by @UnionConference
It helps you eyeball all sessions, by day, session type, presenter name etc. One can earmark sessions and there is also an option to add it to your calendar.

👉It is time to stop decades of failure👈. We have a lot to do to #EndTB by 2030, said @Marks1Guy at @UnionConference
Historically we never were on track to end TB in high TB burden countries
Will we #FindAllTB → #TreatAllTB → #PreventAllTB to end TB?
