31 July is deadline
Registration is now open for the first-ever UN High Level Meeting (UNHLM) on TB, which will be held on 26 September 2018 in New York. The UNHLM will be held on the theme “United to end tuberculosis: an urgent global response to a global epidemic”, and will bring together Heads of State to commit to accelerated action to end TB.
The high-level meeting will consist of an opening segment, a plenary segment, two consecutive multi-stakeholder panels (held in parallel to the plenary) and a closing segment. More information on the planned programme can be found in UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/72/268.
