In new research, Drs. @TheRealDrChase and @psonenthal describe the current gap in our knowledge of post-tuberculosis lung disease and implementing successful strategies to treat the disease. The work was published in @PLOSbuff.ly/3TKq2ZK
Proof-of-concept that a multi-hub oxygen network can decentralize oxygen access and provide resilient supply despite O2 plant down-time. Oxygen security! @PIH@UNITAID@Melino_MD@Andom_MD @JoiaMukherjee @juleslaw5@tiaraforsyth @Stop_Pneumonia
‼️🫁Over 150 million people are living with post-tb lung disease. Many need long-term oxygen therapy. 👏🏼 “All patients with chronic hypoxemia should be provided with home oxygen” 👏🏼 @PIH @Stop_Pneumonia @UNITAID@johngreen
PIH #Malawi in collaboration with Malawi's Ministry of Health, launched a Pressure-Swing Adsorption (PSA) #oxygen plant at Chikwawa District Hospital on March 28, 2024. This new #plant provides medical oxygen to patients in Chikwawa and Nsanje.

Very proud to be a part of this groundbreaking work shining a light on the alarming burden of silicosis (~10%🤯) among mineworkers in rural Rwanda. Congrats to @TRobert_250 and @PIH_Rwanda for leading this initiative. ghspjournal.org/content/earl…
The authors report that implementing an occupational lung disease case-finding in resource-limited settings is clinically and economically feasible and can be integrated into routine noncommunicable disease case-finding. hubs.ly/Q02pxqcb0
