Global TB Summit 2026
Tuberculosis (TB) affects millions globally and remains the world’s leading infectious killer. Can we still achieve the World Health Organization's goal to end the global TB epidemic by 2035, reducing TB deaths by 95%?
The Global TB Summit is back to unite us in this critical mission under the theme, "One world, one fight: Let’s end TB together.”
For over a decade, the summit has connected professional TB experts, fighters and advocates. It’s a hub for sharing the latest in TB management, including testing and treatment, telling powerful patient and nurse stories and highlighting TB advocates worldwide.
This is where the conversation about TB continues and evolves, and we’d love for you to join in our mission. Because it's not just a summit, it’s our shared fight to end TB, together.
