People are facing poverty due to health costs & we’re sick of it!

#UHC is not a cost. It’s an investment with high returns. Every $1 invested in health brings up to $4 in economic growth through increased productivity and reduced disease burden.

It's time for all world leaders to #InvestInHealth

Tuberculosis (TB) that doesn’t respond to standard drugs is called drug-resistant TB and emerges when TB medicines are used inappropriately.

Although the number of people developing drug-resistant TB has declined since 2015, it remains a global public health crisis affecting 390 000 people in 2024.
