In a world that has just begun recovering from a global pandemic, another ancient threat is re-emerging quietly, steadily, and dangerously.
Tuberculosis (TB), a disease many believed to be on the path to elimination, is making a comeback. But this time, it wears a new face, stronger, more resistant, and fueled by neglect.
At the height of COVID-19, TB services were paused, programs were underfunded, and routine screenings were missed. People with coughs stayed home. Clinics closed their doors. As global health systems strained under the pandemic, TB found its opportunity.
And it took it.
Today, more than 1.3 million people die of TB each year. That’s one person every 25 seconds.
For those living in crowded homes, those who cannot access timely care, and those whose immune systems are already fighting other battles-TB has returned as an unforgiving adversary. Even worse, drug-resistant TB now threatens to unravel decades of medical progress.
At Elomi Health Research & Training LLC, we see this not as a failure-but a call to action.
Our work begins with listening-to the data, to the stories, and to the communities affected. We train frontline health workers to recognize and manage TB. We help governments strengthen their surveillance systems. We partner with researchers to uncover solutions that are both practical and scalable.
We are committed to changing the trajectory of TB-not through fear, but through facts, training, collaboration, and innovation.
Because TB is not just a medical issue-it’s a justice issue.
Let’s ensure that no one is left behind in the fight against tuberculosis.
