Relatively simple, but well executed innovations - in this case a “mini-ATM” TB screening device - can be remarkably powerful in increasing identification of people with TB #TB #Kenya #diagnosis
“Josphat discovered he had TB when he stopped at a pop-up screening station on a busy pedestrian bridge over Nairobi Central Railway Station.” @PeterASands shares his conversation with Josphat & how innovative solutions help find people with TB in #Kenya. ow.ly/bjq950P33QH

Deeply concerned about anti-LGBTQI+ Act in #Uganda. Hindering access to lifesaving health services for key populations will undermine effectiveness of @GlobalFund programs, endanger LGBTQI+ individuals & sharpen inequities. We can only achieve #SDG3 by protecting #HumanRights.
The @GlobalFund is deeply concerned about the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Act – a law that would impede access to lifesaving health services and further marginalize and endanger the LGBTQI+ community. Health is a fundamental human right. We must commit to #LeaveNoOneBehind.
