Letter: Support for End Tuberculosis Now Act

Published: 03-13-2024 3:45 PM

I strongly support the End Tuberculosis Now Act, a critical measure addressing the global tuberculosis crisis. New Hampshire’s own Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s endorsement of this legislation and her role in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations underscores the bipartisan commitment to global health. The Act’s comprehensive approach, emphasizing research, prevention, and treatment, aligns with World Health Organization targets for ending TB.

By fostering international collaboration, it positions the United States as a leader in the fight against this debilitating disease. Sen. Shaheen’s advocacy for the End Tuberculosis Now Act is commendable, reflecting a dedication to global well-being. I’d like to encourage readers to follow suit by urging other New Hampshire representatives to support this crucial legislation. Together, we can contribute to a healthier, safer world and play a pivotal role in the global effort to eradicate tuberculosis.
