Response from Tessa Jowell

 

My MP Tessa Jowell emailed me the day after World TB day to confirm that she'd received my letter about TB and HIV. She said she has written to Rt. Hon. Andrew Mitchell, the Secretary of State at the Dept. for International Development, and will get back to me when she receives a response. I'll post the letter as soon as I get it.

My Letter to Megg Munn MP and first response.

  







Dear Meg Munn,     





    I am writing to you to respectfully bring your attention to the ongoing  and worsening crisis surrounding Tuberculosis.  The past 24th of this month was World TB Day and I hope that this year will mark the beginning of a concerted political effort in finally realising the threat of TB both in developing countries and here at home.

Live Below the Line

Support the fight against TB and malnutrition

This month we are introducing a nationwide fundraising and advocacy campaign called Live Below the Line. The campaign is designed to raise awareness of the fact that 1.4 billion people in the world live below the extreme poverty line, on less than £1 a day. We are using the opportunity to raise awareness about TB, which is both a cause and an effect of extreme poverty, and kills millions of people every year.
