A huge thank you to the World Health Organization (WHO) Bangladesh for conducting an inspiring and impactful workshop for our Master of Public Health (MPH) students at Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB) this past Friday, May 9th! 🎉

Our students had the incredible opportunity to learn about the WHO 1+1 Youth Initiative and the Youth2EndTB Campaign. The session was packed with valuable insights on the basics of TB, the global TB crisis, and was truly motivational with creative engagement and powerful storytelling from global youth advocates.

This workshop was a significant step in increasing awareness, strengthening youth-led engagement, and identifying new passionate advocates.

We look forward to seeing the momentum from this initiative grow and foster future youth-led TB initiatives and community mobilization in Bangladesh!
