Every day, nearly 4,400 people die from a disease that is both preventable and curable, resulting in approximately 1.6 million lives lost yearly. As deaths from COVID-19 decline, TB is reclaiming its title as the world’s number one infectious disease killer. Too often, those who die are from our most vulnerable and marginalized communities. While there have been some advancements, the overall response to eliminate TB remains outdated, mired with complacency, and often at odds with basic human rights.
This accountability report is written by, and in solidarity with TB-affected communities and civil society to galvanize a transformative response to end TB. Read the full report here.
To review key findings and hear from stakeholders involved in the development of the report, including Stop TB Canada's Co-Chair, Tina Campbell, register for the webinar “A briefing on the upcoming High Level Meeting on TB: Taking action to close the deadly divides” on September 12th at 10:00 am ET.
