Tuberculosis (TB)

Looking beyond 2015

Developing the Post-2015 TB Strategy and Targets

At the World Health Assembly (WHA) 2012, Ministers of Health called on the World Health Organization to develop a post-2015 TB strategy and accompanying targets for their consideration in 2014. The World Health Organization, working with the Stop TB Partnership, has begun the process of developing the post-2015 TB strategy with an in-depth analysis of the drivers of the global TB epidemic, formulating possible new targets, preparing early drafts of the components and the content of the new strategy, and beginning wide consultation on the framework and targets. The WHO Strategic and Technical Advisory Group (STAG-TB) endorsed the approach and process for further development in June 2012 and a group of Stop TB Partners, including civil society and affected communities, met to provide first feedback. Consultation at global and regional meetings with National TB Programmes and others partners have begun, including at the recently organized Stop TB Symposium at the 43rd Union World Conference on Lung Health. The final proposed strategy and targets should be presented to the WHA in 2014.
