Webinar: CDC’s Integral Role in Ending the Global TB Epidemic

November 7, 2019

Tuberculosis (TB) is the world’s deadliest infectious disease, and its rate of decline in incidence is stalling. This must be met with a coordinated and focused global response. In this webinar, Dr. Hank Tomlinson, Director of the CDC; Division of Global HIV and TB, will discuss the global TB landscape; developments one year after the world came together at the UN General Assembly’s High Level Meeting on TB to set ambitious global targets to end the epidemic; and CDC’s role in supporting the global response to end TB through its four strategic priorities- Finding, Curing, and Preventing TB, while supporting country Sustainability. Dr. Tomlinson will end the presentation focused on “what’s next”, the game-changers needed to ultimately end TB.
