Before the pandemic, tuberculosis (TB) was the world’s leading infectious disease killer, despite being both preventable and curable. COVID-19 and associated health system disruptions are proving to be devastating for people affected by TB. This World TB Day (March 24), Stop TB Canada partnered with Results Canada and Partners in Health Canada to host an open discussion with distinguished speakers who will share their valuable experience and insights on how we can work together to take meaningful, high-impact action to end both TB and COVID-19 once and for all.
Featured speakers: Dr. Joia Mukherjee; Priya Amin; Tina Cambpell
Watch a recording of the webinar below, where you can learn:
• how people affected by TB in Canada and around the world are being impacted by the pandemic
