Multi-drug resistant TB - campaign

Published on August 11, 2020

The Global TB Caucus Campaign on drug-resistant TB

Following the first-ever United Nations High-Level Meeting on TB, held on 26 September 2018, the Global TB Caucus, the South Africa TB Caucus and the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC), planned to convene the Cape Town TB Summit in March 2020, to gather efforts to reach the TB targets agreed by Heads of States in the HLM Political Declaration. ​

With the campaign we hope to:

  • Ensure continued political engagement with MDR-TB on the political agenda;
  • Ensure continued prioritisation of MDR TB during the challenges of the Covid epidemic, and take immediate steps;
  • Provide the MPs with advocacy tools to achieve the goals set by the HLM MDR-TB targets
