Join Us for a live interview with Dr. Obioma Chijioke-Akaniro FAPH - Monitoring and Evaluation Manager | Global Funds Programme Management Unit | National Tuberculosis Programme | Nigeria.

World TB Day 2023, with the theme 'Yes! We can end TB!', aims to inspire hope and encourage high-level leadership, increased investments, faster uptake of new WHO recommendations, adoption of innovations, accelerated action, and multisectoral collaboration to combat the TB epidemic. This year is critical, with opportunities to raise visibility and political commitment at the 2023 UN High-Level Meeting on TB. The spotlight of World TB Day will be on urging countries to ramp up progress in the lead-up to the 2023 UN High-Level Meeting on TB. WHO will also issue a call to action with partners urging Member States to accelerate the rollout of the new WHO-recommended shorter all-oral treatment regimens for drug-resistant TB. World TB Day is observed annually on March 24 to raise awareness about TB and efforts to end the global epidemic, marking the day in 1882 when the bacterium causing TB was discovered.

We're excited to interview Dr. Chijioke-Akaniro and share latest knowledge/trends in this subject. We will distinguish challenges that formerly colonized vs. developed countries face. And most importantly, what's your part in promoting 'Yes! We can end TB!' Everyone plays a role! Welcome!

Dr. Prasad and Dr. Muthukumar are developing wearables that track biomarker expressions via sweat. They have performed detailed correlations of multiple biomarkers including sweat glucose, cortisol, cytokine, and chemokine levels measured using our sweat sensor to those found in plasma/serum of the wearer. These wearables have a great promise for preventive healthcare. This conversation will focus on the impact wearables can have in preventing inflammatory diseases and stress-related illnesses.

Join Us for a live interview with Dr. Gayatri Muthukrishnan who has experimented with multiple methods of health communication. Most interestingly, she has combined her passion for science and dance to communicate difficult health concepts to the public. She has shown that putting pen to the paper may not be the only way to reach catchment population. Speaking of pens, she is also an excellent writer: Explore her works here: https://thewaitingroom.karger.com/ and https://cylindricalonion.web.cern.ch/blogs/dancing-journey-proton.

She is an entrepreneur who has co-founded two organizations: Dance Your Science and Miyara Health.
- Dance Your Science Company educates and communicates science to non-scientific diverse audiences using movement and dance.
- Miyara Health is the first femtech product and services platform for midlife women's health curated by women scientists for India and Switzerland.

We can't wait to talk to this multi-talented guest to learn about lessons learned throughout her journey on what works and doesn't work in public health communication.

Join Us for a live interview with Michael Egharevba, B. Pharm, MBA, MPH - Senior Global Health Pharmacist, Technical Advisor, Health Systems Expert, and a Health Workforce Specialist.

This year's WHO theme for World Patient Safety Day is Medications Without Harm. We will discuss about the challenges and innovations in promoting patient safety in health care - particularly in the context of medication safety. If not for medications in public health, we wouldn't have increased human longevity or have eradicated some diseases in human history. But those same medications are causing harm in today's world - spanning from opioid abuse to antibiotic misuse to polypharmacy.

Michael is a Pharmacist with over 10 years of experience in international public health, 2 years in humanitarian program and over 20 years in pharmaceutical care. He is both licensed in the US (Maryland) and Nigeria (West Africa) as a Pharmacist. He is vast in program management, system design and implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of public health programs which include Essential Medicines, Malaria, HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Maternal Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH), especially in resource-limited settings. Other areas of strength include Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Capacity Building. He is an experienced public health supply chain professional with excellent technical management skills. He is experienced working with diverse teams, developing strategy and interpreting complex data for innovative solutions

We're excited to interview him and share latest knowledge/trends in this subject. We will distinguish challenges that formerly colonized vs. developed countries face. And most importantly, what's your part in promoting patient safety! Everyone plays a role! Welcome!
