30 Sep 2021

The October 2020 Global TB report reviews TB control strategies and United Nations (UN) targets set in the political declaration at the September 2018 UN General Assembly high-level meeting on TB held in New York. Progress in TB care and prevention has been very slow. In 2019, TB remained the most common cause of death from a single infectious pathogen. This study recommends that national TB programs include interventions for post-tuberculosis holistic wellbeing. From first detection of COVID-19 global coordination, political will and huge financial investments have led to the development of effective vaccines against COVID-19 . This study emphasizes that the world now needs to place similar focus on development of new vaccines for TB, utilizing new technological methods. It is a useful study for policy makers.
