The World Health Organization (WHO) is organizing a special virtual Talk Show to commemorate World TB Day. This year, the spotlight will be on the theme ‘Yes! We can end TB!’ with the aim of inspiring hope and encouraging high-level leadership, increased investments, faster uptake of new WHO recommendations, adoption of innovations, accelerated action, and multisectoral collaboration to combat the TB epidemic. 2023 is critical, with several opportunities to raise visibility and political commitment. Countries will be urged to ramp up progress in the lead-up to the 2023 UN High-Level Meeting on TB. WHO’s Director General will launch an initiative spanning 2023-2027, bringing together countries and stakeholders to redouble efforts to ensure universal access to prevention, care and the latest tools and technologies to combat TB on the road to Universal Health Coverage. WHO will also issue a call to action with partners urging Member States to accelerate the rollout of new WHO-recommended shorter all-oral treatment regimens for drug-resistant TB.
Key speakers will include WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and other senior 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.
