Union Ambassador Claire Forlani on TB, Mental Health and the Union World Conference

"Much of the trauma that #COVID19 patients have gone through, TB survivors have suffered for years."

As we count down the days to the start of this year's virtual @union.conference, which will launch on Tuesday, 20 October 2020, the 100th anniversary of the founding of The Union, our TB Ambassador Claire Forlani has shared this clip.

In it Claire talks about the need for mental health to be given parity with physical health, how it has long been an issue for people with TB, and, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on all our mental health.

Thank you for sharing this Claire, raising awareness about mental health, TB and lung disease, and we look forward to your contribution to our first ever #virtual #UnionConf next week.
