This , we honour the courage of the young people who helped shape South Africa's democracy while reflecting on the challenges facing today's generation.

One of those challenges is mental health.

As conversations around Men's Mental Health Awareness Month continue, there is growing concern about the rise in mental health challenges among young men. Many are navigating unemployment, financial pressures, social expectations, uncertainty about the future, and the pressure to appear "strong" even when they are struggling.

Too often, young men suffer in silence.

Let's challenge the stigma around mental health and create spaces where young men feel safe to speak, seek support, and ask for help when they need it.

We believe that building healthier communities starts with recognising the whole person. Through our work supporting health programmes, research, and partnerships, we are committed to advancing health equity and improving wellbeing for all.

Together, we can help ensure that no young person feels they have to face their struggles alone.

We are pleased to share the success of the satellite session on South Africa’s Evolving Innovative Financing Landscape to Fund TB.

Key points highlighted during the discussion included a deeper understanding of innovative financing mechanisms such as impact bonds, and how these tools can be applied to strengthen funding models for TB prevention, treatment, and research.

The discussion also highlighted the role of the South African Medical Research Council in advancing innovative financing solutions that support a more resilient TB response.

We thank all participants and partners for a rich and insightful engagement on advancing sustainable financing for TB.

And that's a wrap on the 9th South African TB Conference!

Over the past three days, researchers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, community advocates, and partners came together to share knowledge, showcase innovation, and strengthen South Africa's response to TB.

The closing programme also celebrated excellence through the Discovery Best Oral and Best Poster Awards, as well as recognition of the winners of the MRC Amazing Race.

Conference Chair Prof. Mohlopheni Jackson Marakalala and Conference Co-Chair Dr. Nkateko Mkhondo provided a comprehensive overview of the conference, reflecting on the achievements, collaborations, and momentum generated over the three days.

Looking to the future, Dr. Gloria Maimela, Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation for Professional Development, acknowledged partners and delegates while introducing the 10th South African TB Conference, set to take place in 2028.

A highlight of the closing ceremony was the keynote address by Deputy President His Excellency Paul Mashatile, who reaffirmed South Africa's commitment to ending TB and strengthening the country's public health response.

As the conference concludes, we extend our sincere gratitude to all delegates, speakers, sponsors, partners, exhibitors, organisers, and volunteers. A special thank you to the South African Medical Research Council team whose dedication, professionalism, and hard work behind the scenes contributed significantly to the success of this conference.

Together, we continue the journey towards a TB-free South Africa.

We are proud to contribute to the scientific programme at the 9th South African TB Conference 2026, sharing evidence and innovations that support South Africa's journey towards a TB-free future.

During the conference, Freck Dikgale presented on the performance of Digital Chest X-Ray (DCXR) for TB case finding at Tonga Hospital in the Nkomazi sub-district, highlighting the role of innovative screening technologies in strengthening TB prevention and early detection among close contacts.

In the Poster Session: Advances in Epidemiology and Health Systems, Lundi Ncana shared insights from our work, contributing to important discussions on strengthening health systems and improving the TB response through evidence-based approaches.

These presentations reflect our commitment to generating practical evidence that informs policy, strengthens health systems and improves health outcomes in communities most affected by TB.

Together, through research, innovation and collaboration, we can accelerate progress towards a TB-free world.

HAPPENING TODAY!!!!!

Aquity Innovations NPC team is sharing research that advances the fight against TB and strengthens health systems.

Our presentations include:

Asymptomatic TB Prevalence in Integrated Lung Health Screening: Implications for De-stigmatization and Systematic Screening Policies

Comparing BPAL-L and 9–11 Month Regimens on Treatment Outcomes Among Patients with Multidrug-Resistant TB (DR-TB) in Ehlanzeni

From Survival to Quality of Life: Post-TB Care Matters

Together, these presentations contribute to stronger evidence, improved care, and better health outcomes for people affected by TB.

Day 2 of the

The Pluslife exhibition, which showcased a near point-of-care TB NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) solution for tuberculosis diagnosis. The technology enables rapid TB testing and results in community and primary healthcare (PHC) settings at a fraction of the cost of conventional laboratory-based testing.

In addition, the platform is designed for ease of use and does not require specialised technical expertise to operate, making it a promising tool for expanding access to timely TB diagnosis.

Tomorrow, Dr. Sipho Nyathi co-chairs Track 1 Session 2: Diagnostics / Innovation Focus at the 9th South African TB Conference 2026.

This session will explore the innovations shaping the future of TB diagnosis and strengthening pathways to earlier detection and improved patient outcomes.

As we gather under the call to Vuka!, we remain committed to advancing evidence-driven solutions that move us closer to a TB-free world.

Vuka! Let's unite towards a TB-free world!

From the 8th-11th June, Aquity Innovations NPC team joins leading researchers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and partners at the 9th South African TB Conference.

At a time when global financial constraints continue to challenge public health programmes, this year's conference is a powerful reminder that innovation, collaboration, and collective action remain essential to ending TB.

Over the coming days, our team will contribute to critical conversations on TB innovation, diagnostics, drug-resistant TB, integrated lung health, health systems strengthening, person-centred care, and sustainable financing solutions for the TB response.

We are proud to share our research, learn from others, and engage in discussions that help shape a stronger, more equitable future for TB care and prevention.

Here's to a week of meaningful dialogue, new partnerships, and renewed commitment to a TB-free South Africa and a TB-free world.

This is more than a conference theme this year

It is a call to action.

A call for stronger collaboration.
A call for bold innovation.
A call to accelerate progress in TB prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

We believe that ending TB requires collective action across science, policy, communities and health systems.

The time to rise is now.
