Tuberculosis (TB) is both preventable and curable, yet it remains the world’s deadliest infectious disease, disproportionately impacting the world’s poorest. The January 2025 suspension of U.S. foreign aid has added to this injustice and put decades of progress at risk. Healthcare workers have been laid off. Treatment has been interrupted. TB rates are rising.
On World TB Day, join our panel of experts in research, policy, and patient care to learn about what’s happening now, what breakthroughs are within reach, and what it will take to stop this preventable disease from claiming more lives. You’ll gain a clear understanding of the current global TB response, the promising advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, and the work still needed to end the inequities that allow TB to continue to kill.
Ending TB is possible—but only with sustained global commitment and partnership. Join us to learn how you can help move us closer to a world free of TB.
