Tuberculosis (TB) is curable, but 37,000 people die every year from this airborne disease in Europe and Central Asia – that’s almost five deaths every hour. Despite these shocking statistics and the heart-wrenching stories, international financial support for TB programmes in the European region is declining. This will have a devastating impact across Europe.
Together, we have the opportunity to make a difference.
This week, the TB Europe Coalition, with the support of Stop TB Partnership, has launched the Fight TB 2015 campaign to ensure that European leaders step up their response to TB to save millions of lives.
We encourage you to get involved with this great campaign. You can find out about the campaign and the various actions below.
