The World Health Organization (WHO), the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) will host a special #EndTB webinar on 2 March 2022 to launch an interagency field guide on TB prevention and care among refugees and other populations in humanitarian settings.
TB remains one of the leading infectious diseases causing millions to fall ill and lose their lives annually. Refugees and other populations in humanitarian settings face substantial threats to health and survival, such as poverty, crowded living conditions, undernutrition and poor access to health services – all conditions in which TB transmission thrives.
