Some concluding thoughts from Conference:
- Apply rapid science communication in TB (we cannot do anything without activism and advocacy)
- Access to data resources is critical for success
- Consider a science-focused TB consortium to complement already excellent approaches by the TB Think Tank
- Consider MAC or an equivalent governmental structure for TB
- Localise data gathering and interventions, civil society leaders know better about what happens in communities than any researcher or biomedical practitioner
- Strengthen communication – Make use of influential voices to raise awareness about TB, for example : Traditional leaders his Majesty the king, the President etc…
- Just like during COVID 19 lockdown, ensure at least monthly family meetings on TB with the President
- Find men where they are, leave no one behind
