The Trump administration recently slashed foreign aid, cutting off lifesaving access to medication and support for hundreds of thousands of people who are fighting tuberculosis (TB)—the world’s most deadly infectious disease. These harmful actions sparked outrage and disbelief among the global community of clinicians, advocates, researchers, and survivors who know firsthand the dire consequences, specifically to vulnerable populations around the world.

For World TB Day, Partners In Health has invited leading TB experts, authors, and thought leaders to shed light on what these cruel actions mean for patients and the centuries-long fight against TB, and to discuss the hope and power that remain through the coordinated actions of activists and allies.

Speakers: Moderated by Dr. Madhukar Pai, PIH trustee and TB expert, and featuring Handaa Enkh-Amgalan, author and public speaker; John Green, PIH trustee and author; Vidya Krishnan, author and investigative journalist; Dr. Melino Ndayizigiye, executive director of PIH Lesotho and infectious disease expert; and Maria Smilios, author and adjunct lecturer.
