The World is Watching—It’s Time to Act on TB.
Tuberculosis is a disease of inequality. Despite being curable since the 1950s, it remains the world’s deadliest infectious disease, disproportionately affecting the poorest and accelerating cycles of poverty and injustice. In fact, TB claims a life every 20 seconds—deaths that are entirely preventable. Drug resistance, underfunded health systems, and lack of access to care make this crisis even deadlier.
For 40 years, Partners In Health has been proving that eliminating TB is possible. PIH has set a higher standard of care, leading the fight for better policies, treatments, and access to lifesaving drugs. We work alongside patients, scientists, and policymakers to challenge the status quo—driving down drug prices, pioneering new treatment strategies, and ensuring that the latest innovations reach the people who need them most.
Until every person with TB can access the care they deserve, this fight isn’t over. Justice demands urgent action. Act now to urge Congress to reverse the Trump Administration’s cuts to global TB programs—email your representative today.
