Our new paper in @PedPulmonol reveals that children and adolescents still experience reduced lung health even after "successful" #TB treatment. We must prioritise #PostTB care in young people.

Amazing work @CelsoKhosa
Decentralizing childhood TB Dx could save lives, but what's the cost? Our study across 6 countries reveals DH-focused strategy may be cost-effective, with ICERs ranging from $263 to $342 per DALY averted. The PHC-focused strategy shows promise too.t.ly/uGkgi

Glad to have contributed to this important piece from the 2nd international @PostTBSymposium. More advocacy is needed to improve outcomes after #TB, especially in children and adolescents.
@Child_TBSequel @TogunToyin @BeateKampmann @tosinesin
155M TB survivors worldwide face post-TB disability risks. The 2nd International Post-Tuberculosis Symposium in South Africa brought together experts, survivors, and policymakers to drive awareness, research, and collaboration.#PostTBSymposium ingentaconnect.com/content/i… @drmvdzalm
In 2024, embrace the day and leave shadows behind.
Live vibrantly, let go of strife,
This moment is yours, dance with pure life.
Merry Christmas 🎄

This is a very timely and enlightening piece on why health workers migrate from LMICs. Good read!
The health of any country depends on the quant./qual. of well-trained health workers (HW).
Want to know why HWs leave LMICs? Our systematic review spanning 5 decades provides key insight that could guide policy actions.

After 3 days of amazing conversations at the international @PostTBSymposium, it's time to do our part to ensure health and wellbeing for children and adolescents affected by TB. It was a pleasure co-chairing with you @drmvdzalm
Reflecting on 3 amazing days @PostTBSymposium @StellenboschUni it was great to have increased interest on paediatric post TB life since the last symposium in 2019. “Don’t forget about the children and adolescents” will continue to resonate! Thanks for co-chairing @Esinofils
