- Preventing and treating TB through research
to discover, develop, and clinically test the following:
- More accurate and rapid diagnostics for resource-poor settings.
- More effective vaccines to prevent TB infection.
- More effective drugs and shorter regimens to treat active disease.
- Demonstrating the effectiveness of innovative strategies to fight TB, including effective ways to manage TB in areas heavily affected by HIV.
- Accelerating access to new tools by securing adequate financing for product introduction, and by overcoming market and systemic barriers to product procurement, distribution, and access.
- Advocating to increase financial support and build commitment and awareness among decision makers and opinion leaders, emphasizing the burden of TB, the link between TB and HIV/AIDS, and the need for greater resources for TB research and control.
