JOIN THE CAMPAIGN FOR WORLD TB DAY
Every year, on 24 March, the Stop TB Partnership and its partners unite to raise public awareness of the devastating health, social, and economic impacts of TB and call for an end to this epidemic.
The world has turned a new page in the fight against TB, following the September 2023 UN High-Level Meeting (HLM) on TB. We recognize and commend the impressive global response, with 7.5 million people (out of the estimated 10.3 million) newly diagnosed with TB in 2022 - the highest number of people with TB ever diagnosed and treated in a year.
After discussions with partners, we unanimously decided to keep last year’s theme to keep the focus on the amazing work done in 2023 by High-Burden TB Countries to ensure access to more and more people with TB to new diagnostics, new treatment regimens, digital technology and artificial intelligence. The theme also centers on the increased engagement of those affected by TB, communities and civil society who are leading the movement towards ending this disease, and highlights our collective power to reach the 2027 HLM Political Declaration targets and end TB by 2030.
On World TB Day 2024, we will need everyone - political leaders, civil society, donors, researchers, TB communities, the private sector, and most importantly, each of us - to take this message one step further by saying what each of us is doing to help End TB, and challenging those in power to do the same.
There are several key areas to focus on such as financial needs to scale up implementation and speed up, research and development of new tools including a new TB vaccine, access to new rapid molecular diagnosis and to new shorter and more efficient treatment regimens, TB prevention, TB in children, strengthening and funding Communities, Rights and Gender (CRG) work.
The Stop TB Partnership and all partners are calling on all those involved in the fight against TB to unite under this overarching theme and redouble efforts to end TB and save lives, because #YesWeCanEndTB. We know that we can end TB! So, let us all commit to making change happen for 2024 World TB Day and collectively say ‘Yes! We Can End TB!’
