Comment on Sen. Brown Tells White House Not to Neglect TB by Peg Willingham

Thank you for this great post. Sherrod Brown has a long and distinguished record of being the Congress’s leading champion on tuberculosis; his leadership in this area has been laudable. We applaud his hard work in bringing TB to the forefront of global health in the government, which is greatly needed. Senator Brown is absolutely correct that the US government needs to invest more in TB. Currently AIDS and malaria are already commendable focuses of presidential initiatives, but TB should not be left behind. As a disease which kills almost 2 million a year, TB merits significant attention and investment as well. Though directly assisting patients in need is important, as Senator Brown mentions, the real game-changers will be new developments in research. TB vaccines hold the promise of preventing and ultimately eliminating this disease, and the Lantos-Hyde Act has authorized funding for this important research. We appreciate Senator Brown’s highlighting vaccines and other important research in his letter to the President, and we too hope that funding for TB programs and R&D will be included in the administration’s Global Health Initiative.

Comment on At HIV/TB Session, the Good, the Bad, and the Promising by dr george pradhan, mbbs,india

31 Oct 2009 /Vskpm,In; 3 months now since my query, ‘why take the results of a small Ugandan survey, when millions of religiously circumcised people are there in the world, from whom statistics could easily be collected?’. In a few cases of HIV pos i saw, they were cut long ago. I am concerned about this activity by the world leaders cos this surgery tho easy, does spill HIV blood, needs a full setup and takes time and effort. IS IT PRACTICAL ON A GLOBAL SCALE ? i think it is not.
