In many places, including Sierra Leone, chronic 🫁 disease often goes undiagnosed. @pihsierraleone is working to change that through innovation and evidence generation. @PIH @TheUnion_TBLH pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3957…
Partners In Health-Lesotho is looking for a critical care physician to join our ICU team at Botsabelo Hospital in Maseru. @EeccNetwork @patscommunity @crit_sa @WFICCcomms jobs.jobvite.com/pih/job/otx…

Did you know that #TB patients often need long-term #oxygen therapy at home?
Read Kaizer Mahapa's story from #Lesotho 🇱🇸 pih.org/article/pih-gives-tu…

🙏 @PIH for shining💡onto a forgotten patient population needing #OxygenAccess. We must change that!

In new research, Drs. @TheRealDrChase and @psonenthal describe the current gap in our knowledge of post-tuberculosis lung disease and implementing successful strategies to treat the disease. The work was published in @PLOS buff.ly/3TKq2ZK
Proof-of-concept that a multi-hub oxygen network can decentralize oxygen access and provide resilient supply despite O2 plant down-time. Oxygen security! @PIH @UNITAID @Melino_MD @Andom_MD @JoiaMukherjee @juleslaw5 @tiaraforsyth @Stop_Pneumonia
📢NEW PREPRINT👇🏼we created an O2 network in Lesotho. In 15 months: >1.5k cylinders across 21 sites. Thats >3k patient-hours of O2 tx! ⚠️not yet peer-reviewed⚠️@PIH @UNITAID @Melino_MD @Stop_Pneumonia #oxygensecurity medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
👇🏼@Stop_Pneumonia said it best!
Important new @PLOSGPH essay uncovers massive gap in #TB care ~92M people living with post-TB lung disease.
Like Mahapa👇in #Lesotho, many need home #oxygen to leave the hospital.
But most don't get it b/c they are an invisible patient population.
Time to change that 👉journals.plos.org/globalpubl…
Kudos authors @TheRealDrChase @psonenthal @Andom_MD @Melino_MD @kj_seung + @PIH @harvardmed @BrighamWomens

@PIH has shown that home oxygen for post tb lung disease can change lives. pih.org/article/pih-gives-tu…

‼️🫁Over 150 million people are living with post-tb lung disease. Many need long-term oxygen therapy. 👏🏼 “All patients with chronic hypoxemia should be provided with home oxygen” 👏🏼 @PIH @Stop_Pneumonia @UNITAID @johngreen

Brilliant moderation by Dr Marta Lado @pihsierraleone at @WHO #RoadtoOxygen Access meeting in Dakar #Senegal🇸🇳 14-16 May.
Dr Lado walks the talk & worked around the clock with other clinicians to treat patients in #SierraLeone during the #COVID crisis.

🎉🎉Congratulations @PIHMalawi_APZU!!! Grateful for @UNITAID support of this amazing achievement.
PIH #Malawi in collaboration with Malawi's Ministry of Health, launched a Pressure-Swing Adsorption (PSA) #oxygen plant at Chikwawa District Hospital on March 28, 2024. This new #plant provides medical oxygen to patients in Chikwawa and Nsanje.

So excited about this landmark achievement in oxygen access in Malawi! Grateful to @unitaid for supporting this work and investing in oxygen!
PIH & MoH are launching the Pressure-Swing Adsorption Plant in Chikwawa to improve access to safe, reliable, quality oxygen.
This development will reduce the resources that Chikwawa & Nsanje District Hospitals were using to access oxygen in Blantyre

Very proud to be a part of this groundbreaking work shining a light on the alarming burden of silicosis (~10%🤯) among mineworkers in rural Rwanda. Congrats to @TRobert_250 and @PIH_Rwanda for leading this initiative. ghspjournal.org/content/earl…

The authors report that implementing an occupational lung disease case-finding in resource-limited settings is clinically and economically feasible and can be integrated into routine noncommunicable disease case-finding. hubs.ly/Q02pxqcb0

We paid a visit to the new oxygen plant at @ButaroHospital. Thank you to @UNITAID for the incredible support!
