Our book for February is 'Everything is Tuberculosis’ by John Green.
All are welcome to join in an hour's discussion on Zoom, no matter how much of the book you have read.
In 2019, John Green met Henry, a young tuberculosis patient in Sierra Leone. They became fast friends. In the years since that first visit, Green has become a vocal and dynamic advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, treatable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing 1.5 million people every year.
In 'Everything is Tuberculosis', John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
