UNHLM 2023 on TB

(22 September 2023)

TB STUDY GROUP (TSG) humbly requests all UN member states to allocate adequate resources for urgently Ending TB worldwide. TSG also urges to set up a realistic target for diagnosing and treating all forms of TB; unrealistic targets can be misleading for TB workers to End TB.

Dr. Ahmed Parvez Zabeen, Honorary Chief Executive Officer (CEO), TB STUDY GROUP

An effective TB vaccine is needed to prevent TB from Latent TB Infection (LTBI) by 50%. The heads of government and states who will attend the 78th UNGA firmly plead to allocate enough funds for effective TB vaccine development as soon as possible to make a TB-free World.
