Global health sector strategies guide the health sector in implementing strategically focused responses to achieve the goals of ending AIDS, viral hepatitis B and C and sexually transmitted infections by 2030.
Department for HIV, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis and Sexually Transmitted Infections
The WHO Department leads the global effort to end the epidemics of HIV, tuberculosis (TB), hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), ensuring that every person has equitable access to highest-quality people-centred scientific evidence and services, regardless of who they are or where they live.

Ending TB is not just a public health problem, but a development challenge and opportunity. WHO’s post-2015 End TB Strategy, adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2014, aims to end the global TB epidemic as part of the newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals.
