Doctors Without Borders just launched a new, unprecedented global initiative to diagnose and treat tuberculosis in children
Under new recommendations from the World Health Organization, a patient-centered approach to tuberculosis will help with both early detection and treatment, as well as improving treatment options. The new treatments are shorter, while still being effective, especially for very young children.
To implement these new recommendations, Doctors Without Borders just launched a new global initiative to improve diagnosis and treatment of TB among children and prevent new cases. Called “TACTiC” (for “Test, Avoid, Cure Tuberculosis in Children), the initative will be brought to over a dozen countries in Africa and Asia.
Why is this good news? Not only Doctors Without Borders’ initiative (which it has long been fighting for) to implement the new testing and treatment recommendations save lives — it will result in shorter treatments for children, which helps their families by reducing travel costs, follow-up time, and providing a better treatment experience overall.

New data shows it’s gotten easier for people to vote in the U.S. since 2000
According to new data from the Center for Election Innovation & Research, voting in the U.S. has gotten easier in the last two decades. Since 2020, more voters have gained access to early voting — and now, nearly every state offers some form of early in-person voting and mail-in voting to all voters.
Despite efforts to restrict access to voting in some states, nearly 97% of voting-age citizens across the country now have the option to vote before Election Day — huge progress for improving access to voting.
In total, 46 states and Washington, D.C. offer early in-person voting — and 37 of those also offer mail-in voting to all voters, no excuse required.
The data also showed that as voters gain access to ways of casting their vote — they use them. And in a country where voter turnout is still relatively low compared to the rest of the world, improving access to voting methods helps improve voter turnout and representation.
