"Quand
j'étais petit, on allait dans les immeubles sonner aux
portes pour essayer de vendre des timbres contre la tuberculose.
Après on a oublié, c'était sans doute fini,
la tuberculose. Et puis non.
Trois millions de morts chaque année dans le monde alors
que l'on sait soigner la maladie. Je vais courir le marathon de
Paris avec Jeannie.
Pour que l'on sache que ça n'est pas fini ; que ça
pourrait l'être ; que l'on peut guérir, vivre après
et même courir."
François Rousseau
"
Dear Stop TB Partnership...
If you are going to do business with the developing world
you will have to learn to respect their
sensibilities and apply minimum official courtesy when dealing
with people from that part of the world."

"Dear
New Residents of the Ivory Towers, Geneva"
An Open Letter to the new Advocacy Communications
Working Group, Stop TB / WHO
"Political
commitment to TB control needs to move from words to action.
WHO is one of the most important instruments which
we must reclaim to rebuild decent public health
care systems in developing systems.”
Zackie Achmat, Treatment
Action Campaign, South Africa

Words of Wisdom
I am writing to applaud your Open
Letter to the Advocacy Communication Group at WHO. This
is a move in the right direction since for many years we
have been left out from all levels of policy and implememtation,
yet at the end of the day we are the ones who are affected.
