Celebrating World TB Day

On March 24, 2022, Stop TB Canada joined our domestic and global partners in recognizing World Tuberculosis Day - a day to build public awareness of the TB epidemic and stand in solidarity with the millions of people affected by this disease. Check out out this blog post for a snapshot of our success this World TB Day, including building awareness, gaining political champions, and securing resources from Canada to #EndTB.

Canadian TB Tracker

On World TB Day this year, Stop TB Canada published a critical NEW tool to inform our advocacy: the Canadian TB Tracker. This tool provides tracking of progress towards the domestic and global TB elimination targets to which Canada has committed, and will be used to hold policy-makers accountable for progress towards these goals.

Access the tracker: https://www.stoptbcanada.com/tb-tracker

Key highlights from the tracker are summarized in this article by Lena Faust, member of Stop TB Canada.
