The Lancet journals: World TB Day media alert

For World TB Day 2014, The Lancet group publishes a Series of papers to highlight the need for global collaboration to diagnose, treat, and cure people with tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis was declared a global emergency in 1993 by the WHO. 21 years after this declaration, the disease remains a serious and considerable threat to global health. For World TB Day 2014, The Lancet group publishes a Series of papers to highlight the need for global collaboration to diagnose, treat, and cure people with tuberculosis. A special collection of Reviews, Comments and Articles, published by The Lancet journals, discuss topics ranging from extremely drug-resistant tuberculosis, to the role of advocacy in tuberculosis, and new anti-tuberculosis drugs, highlighting the key areas and challenges to be met if inroads are to be made into winning the battle against tuberculosis.
