World
TB Day is one important occasion on which we get the
opportunity to raise our voices and take actions to stop
further unnecessary human suffering from TB, a totally
preventable and treatable disease. This year’s global theme
of World Tuberculosis Day is: “Actions for life, towards
a world free of tuberculosis”. The thematic focus for
Day is built on the Global Plan to Stop TB 2006-2015
focusing on 10 specific action points. These Actions are
calling on people to Act, Commit, Collaborate, Achieve,
Invest, Treat, Reach, Innovate, Advocate and, Hope. All are
Actions for life. This year and for ten years to come all
our efforts and our directed actions in the Region are going
to synchronized with the global efforts, with all aiming to
one day, not too far from today, we all live in a world free
of tuberculosis.
French slogan: Agir pour la vie. Vers un monde sans
