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

Brilliant moderation by Dr Marta Lado @pihsierraleone at @WHO #RoadtoOxygen Access meeting in Dakar #Senegal🇸🇳 14-16 May.

🎉🎉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

Barely containing your rage like @sportswithjohn over @JNJNews intention to put profits over the lives of people facing drug resistant tuberculosis (TB)?
You're not alone.
🚨 Join us in calling for justice for people with TB worldwide ⬇️
An open letter to @JNJNews. Stop pursuing the secondary patent of bedaquiline. YOU KNOW that millions of people will be unable to access lifesaving treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis if you extend the patent. YOU KNOW it violates your credo. youtube.com/watch?v=tMhgw5SW…

As @WHO declares an end to COVID-19 as a global health emergency, the new Global Oxygen Alliance is launched by global health partners to continue the essential work of the ACT-A Oxygen Emergency Taskforce, which raised more than US$1 billion to boost access to medical oxygen.
