United Nations, New York — Global tuberculosis advocates who converged on the United Nations and UN missions this week for the civil society hearing of the UN High Level Meeting on Ending TB – scheduled to take place on September 26th – discussed a wide variety of challenges to ending TB as a global public health threat, from a lack of effective tools like point-of-care diagnostics and vaccines to challenges in reaching the four million people infected with TB every year who go undetected.
