Join us for a special World Health Assembly Side-Event - On the road to the second UN High Level Meeting on TB on ending TB: Progress and challenges, 2018-2023. The event is being organized by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Poland with the technical support of the World Health Organization.
The event will bring together Ministers, ambassadors, and other high-level government representatives, WHO leadership, Heads of Agencies, TB survivors, civil society, and partners to discuss how we can join forces to put a high-level spotlight on efforts to end TB and fast-track progress against this top infectious killer.
2023 is a critical year with opportunities to raise visibility, political commitment, and investments for the fight against TB. The second UN High-Level Meeting on TB at the General Assembly in September will bring together Heads of State and other leaders and provide the impetus to revitalize political and social commitment to ramp up progress against this preventable and curable disease that still causes suffering to millions. Poland and Uzbekistan have been appointed as the co-facilitators of the UN High Level Meeting on TB. The event will take stock of the progress made, and challenges encountered in reaching the commitments made at the 2018 UN High Level Meeting on TB and chart the way forward for renewed action to get the response back-on-track.
Please join us at the Permanent Mission of Poland in Geneva.
Kindly note that the event can only accomodate in-person participation.
When: 23 May 2023 from 8:00AM – 9:30AM
