#EndTB Webinar:

Virtual launch on: 

Tackling TB and undernutrition together!

22 October 2025, 12h00 to 13h30 CEST

The World Health Organization (WHO) is convening a global webinar to launch new guidance on TB and undernutrition.

Undernutrition remains one of the most significant drivers of the TB epidemic globally – contributing to increased vulnerability to TB disease, poorer treatment outcomes, and preventable mortality. Addressing undernutrition and food insecurity among people affected by TB has the potential to improve outcomes and save lives. The release of the latest guidelines marks a significant step in tackling determinants as part of people-centred care under WHO’s End TB Strategy.

This webinar will share the latest recommendations on TB and undernutrition, exchange country experience in providing nutritional interventions to people with TB, and discuss opportunities for scaling up action.

The new guidance is featured as part of the second edition of the WHO consolidated guidelines on tuberculosis. Module 6: tuberculosis and comorbidities

Key speakers include WHO leadership, representatives from ministries of health and national TB programmes, academia, technical and financing organizations, and civil society.

The event is open to all stakeholders committed to the fight against TB and hunger, and the goal of achieving Health for All.

When: Wednesday 22 October 2025, 12:00 PM–13:30 PM (CEST)
