TB Political Declaration at risk with three weeks until the UN High-Level Meeting on TB
The Stop TB Partnership and partners are calling on all member states to accelerate negotiations to ensure they reach consensus on a strong Political Declaration prior to the UN High-Level Meeting on TB on 22 September, without weakening any of the current targets or key commitments in the latest version. It would be an unprecedented failure if there is no outcome document agreed at the High-Level Meeting on TB in three weeks' time.
The Stop TB Partnership also provided important information regarding key upcoming deadlines related to the High-Level Meeting.

Aidspan also released a comprehensive analysis of the expectations related to the upcoming High-Level Meeting on TB and the Political Declaration expected to be adopted.
