Break the chain of transmission to end tuberculosis
Ending tuberculosis in high-burden settings requires us to adopt evidence-based interventions. No one should be at risk of this deadly, but curable, disease.

It is important to take a moment to be proud of progress made. However, we must recognise that we are not on track to #EndTB.
This necessitates an urgent strategy review, in order to prioritise interventions that will break the chain of transmission.

On Tuesday, the UK pledged £850m to The Global Fund – down from £1bn in 2022.
