In just over one month, tuberculosis (TB) stakeholders will convene in New York City for the second ever United Nations High-Level Meeting (UN HLM) on TB to re-commit to ending the world’s deadliest infectious disease. Having high-level leadership in attendance is essential to ensuring that this important meeting is as impactful as possible and to getting the world back on track towards TB elimination.
Ehat’s why we’re calling on Canada to renew its commitments to ending TB by announcing new investments in TB research and development at the UN HLM. With increased funding to support scientific innovation, we can help improve the tools available to prevent, diagnose, and treat TB – and #YesWeCanEndTB!
We need your help to ensure Canada shows up with strong commitments!
