Despite significant progress in TB detection and treatment, tuberculosis remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries. Today, climate change is emerging as a major threat to TB control, with climate-related food insecurity, population displacement, and weakened health systems increasing vulnerability to infection and undermining treatment outcomes. In their article, Joshua Eliud, Helen H Habib, and Richard Sanya examine the growing intersection between climate change and TB, highlighting the need for evidence-informed, climate-responsive approaches to strengthen prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care across East Africa. 📖 Read more in 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬, 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚 on pages 20–21 of the latest APHRC Newsletter (Issue 1, 2026). 👉 buff.ly/JpEeaEw #ChartingNewFrontiers #IamAPHRC #WeAreAfrica @CKyobutungi @DMdiarafa @amveyange @RatemoJuliet @williamsila @MangwanaVJ @deborahndlovu @ndonyesarah @DorcasOdhiambo @dia_diama @MuliDavis @CharityWaweru @Hope_shete @Waithaka_KE @isabelmutuku1

Tuberculosis is the world's leading infectious disease killer. In 2021, it killed 1.4 million people. Yet. $6.2bn/yr almost eradicate TB over a decade, save 27 million lives by 2050. One of the world's best investments. Peer-reviewed SDGs research published by Cambridge University Press cambridge.org/core/journals/…

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐊𝐨𝐠𝐢 The Coordinator of The Leprosy Mission Nigeria in Kogi State, Reuben Isiah, has raised concerns over the increasing number of leprosy cases in the state, warning that many infections are only being detected at advanced stages. Speaking in Lokoja, Isiah urged the state government and other stakeholders to strengthen public awareness campaigns and health education efforts to promote early detection and treatment. The warning highlights the continued burden of neglected tropical diseases in Nigeria and the importance of community awareness, early diagnosis, and access to healthcare in preventing complications and disability.
