From Control to Elimination

For "World TB Day 2011" we will be in the second year of the biennial campaign "Innovate and accelerate efforts against tuberculosis”, whose goal is to inspire innovation in research and care of tuberculosis.

PAHO / WHO joins the global campaign and continues with the three official posters for the Region. The goal of World TB Day is to raise awareness of this disease in order to prevent and control it and thus provide a path for its elimination. According to the Global Plan to Stop TB 2011-2015, there is a strong commitment to developing rapid tuberculosis tests, shorter treatment regimens, and a fully effective vaccine to be placed on the market, thereby helping to shift from control to elimination.
