Global Plan to Stop TB
SummaryText
'Stop TB' is a global movement, lead by the Stop TB Partnership, to accelerate social and political action to stop the spread of tuberculosis around the world. The publication has been divided into four different sections to facilitate the downloading process.
The document describes the action and resources needed over the next five years to expand, adapt, and improve the effort in order to meet the 2005 global targets and set the world on the road to eliminating TB. Nine billion dollars is needed to fulfil the objectives of the Plan, and with a gap of nearly US$4 billion, much work is needed to mobilise more resources.
Prepared over a two-year period by a team from Partners in Health and the Stop TB Partnership secretariat, with funding from the Open Society Institute, the Global Plan incorporates contributions from over 150 experts in TB control, public health, and development around the world, and has the backing of WHO, the World Bank, and many other agencies involved in the Global Partnership to Stop TB.
A first draft of the Plan was presented at the Stop TB Partners Forum in October 2001, and has since been updated with new information on the global TB epidemic.
A 2006-2015 Plan is now available. Please click here for more information.
