Global TB Summit

Tackling TB Together: One world, one goal, zero TB

Tuberculosis (TB) affects millions globally, and is the leading infectious killer. Can we still achieve the World Health Organization's (WHO) 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, "Tackling TB Together: One world, one goal, zero TB.”

For over a decade, the summit has connected TB doctors, 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 warriors worldwide. This is where the conversation about TB continues and evolves, and you’re invited to join us.

It's not just a summit, it’s our shared fight for a zero-TB future.
