“Roadmap for Childhood TB: Toward Zero Deaths” launched

The Roadmap for Childhood TB: Toward Zero Deaths was launched in Washington D.C. by “global TB leaders” including WHO, the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union), Stop TB Partnership, UNICEF, CDC, USAID, and Treatment Action Group (TAG). The group noted that “the deaths of more than 74,000 children from tuberculosis (TB) could be prevented each year through measures outlined in the first ever action plan developed specifically on TB and children, and that “US$120 million per year could have a major impact on saving tens of thousands of children’s lives from TB, including among children infected with both TB and HIV.}
