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

The Anti-Homosexuality Act is a grave setback for the HIV-response in Uganda. The science is clear: Criminalizing already marginalized groups has negative public health impacts for the targeted groups & for society at large. The IAS stands in solidarity with the LGBTQ community.

The Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023 will obstruct health education and the outreach that can help #endAIDS as a public health threat. Together as one, @unaids @globalfund & @pepfar call for the Act to be reconsidered to ensure equitable access to health services and end AIDS by 2030.

The Anti-Homosexuality Act will reverse the gains Uganda has made in its effort to end HIV/AIDS. @GlobalFund @UNAIDS & @PEPFAR call for the Act to be reconsidered so Uganda may continue on its path to ensure equitable access to health services & end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

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.
23 Mar 2023
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.
