 World Tuberculosis Day 2011
Campaign:
On the move against
tuberculosis
Transforming the fight
towards elimination
For
World TB Day 2011 we enter
the second year of a
two-year campaign, On
the move against
tuberculosis
whose goal is to inspire
innovation in TB research
and care.
This
year's campaign challenges
us to look at the fight
against TB in an entirely
new way: that every step we
take should be a step
towards TB elimination.
The
campaign is inspired by the
ambitious new objectives and
targets of the Global
Plan to Stop TB 2011-2015:
Transforming the Fight-Towards
Elimination of Tuberculosis,
which was launched by the
Stop TB Partnership in
October 2010. This new plan,
for the first time,
identifies all the research
gaps that need to be filled
to bring rapid TB tests,
faster treatment regimens
and a fully effective
vaccine to market. It also
shows public health
programmes how to drive
universal access to TB care,
including how to modernize
diagnostic laboratories and
adopt revolutionary TB tests
that have recently become
available.
