Through a consultative process with civil society organizations, technical partners and donors, WHO/Europe has recently established the Regional Collaborating Committee on Tuberculosis Control and Care (RCC-TB).
The mission of RCC-TB is to achieve universal access to evidence-based TB and M/XDR-TB prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care across the WHO European Region. The key objectives are to strengthen involvement and foster collaboration between national and international partners in TB and M/XDR-TB prevention, control and care.
RCC-TB is open to all individuals and institutions with substantial expertise and experience in areas related to TB prevention, control and care. Applications for network membership will be assessed by WHO, in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with WHO rules and regulations, policies and practices.
The programme of TB and multidrug-resistant TB of the WHO Regional Office for Europe serves as secretariat for the RCC-TB. In case of questions or comments, please contact: tuberculosis@euro.who.int.
