World TB Day 2024: Online Talk Show [1]
[]
Date: 2024-03-19
The World Health Organization (WHO) is organizing a special Talk Show to commemorate World TB Day on 19 March 2024 at 14:30 CET.
The spotlight this year, under the theme 'Yes! We can end TB!' - conveys a message of hope - that getting back-on-track to turn the tide against the TB epidemic is possible through high level leadership, increased investments, and faster uptake of new WHO recommendations. Following the commitments made by Heads of State at the UN High Level Meeting in 2023 to accelerate progress to end TB, this year's focus shifts to turning these commitments into tangible actions.
To help countries reach the target on scaling up access to TB preventive treatment, WHO will release an investment case at the event. Increased access to TB preventive treatment and screening services for TB disease creates efficiencies and can lead to massive health and financial gains.
The event will take place in a talk-show format with speakers joining in person or connected by video on WHO’s interactive web-platform – End TB Forum. The main speakers will include WHO leadership, Ministers, leaders and other high-level government representatives, Heads of Agencies, TB survivors, civil society, and partners. The Show will be broadcast live, with interactive Q&A from the audience online.
Please Save-the-Date in your calendars and join us on 19 March.
