Make investing in TB a strategic political choice

Investing in TB is not just a health measure; it is a strategic political and economic decision. The evidence is clear: every dollar invested in TB generates up to USD 43 in economic and health returns. With sustained political will and committed financing, countries can strengthen health systems, protect communities, and turn the tide on ending TB.

Accelerate innovation to reach people faster

Breakthrough tools save lives only when they reach communities.

Rapid roll out the first-ever WHO-recommended near-point-of-care TB diagnostic tests is essential to close gaps in access to care.

Protect hard‑won gains

Global crises and fiscal pressures threaten TB progress. Countries must protect essential TB services, prevent disruptions, and preserve achievements.

End TB to strengthen health security

TB remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases. Ending TB builds stronger, more resilient health systems, a critical investment in national and global health security.

Mobilize whole-of-government, multisectoral action

TB is driven by social, economic, and structural inequities and continues to disproportionately affect the poorest and most vulnerable populations. Ending TB requires coordinated mulitsectoral action, beyond the health sector, backed by strong accountability mechanisms. 

Deliver people‑centred TB care 

Integrated PHC-level TB services must be accessible, affordable, stigma‑free, and community‑driven. Engaging civil society and people affected by TB ensures policies and services truly meet people’s needs.
