Combatting a global killer: What’s next in the fight against tuberculosis
A Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Forum
Tuberculosis deaths are on the rise again, after declining for more than a decade, and the threat of drug-resistant strains looms large. But there are glimmers of hope — including new research into the reasons treatment often fails. Our panel of experts will share the latest science, policy, and health care innovations -- and explore how we can apply lessons from COVID -- to halt the spread of one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases. We’ll also hear from a TB survivor who is fighting to reduce stigma and improve treatment. Join us for this important discussion in advance of World TB Day.
