CDC’s Integral Role in Ending the Global TB Epidemic
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.
