Get Involved
Stop TB USA provides scientific and public health
information to the general public and to TB policy makers regarding TB
elimination activities.
Preventing the ongoing accumulation of deaths, disability, healthcare costs, and loss of family income due to TB will require the full participation at local, state, and federal levels by policy makers, the public health sectors, medical practitioners, professional societies, community-based organizations, and voluntary organizations. Greatly increased political will to eliminate TB will be needed in any fiscal climate, and advocacy partnerships are even more important to maintain focus on the goal of eliminating TB in recessionary times.
| A Call
for Action on the Tuberculosis Elimination Plan March 23, 2010 In 2000, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) published its report, Ending Neglect: The Elimination of Tuberculosis in the United States, detailing the history of efforts to control and eliminate tuberculosis in the United States and recommending a plan to eliminate tuberculosis in the United States by 2035. In late 2007, Stop TB USA assembled a Tuberculosis Elimination Plan Committee to assess the progress since the release of the IOM report and to formulate recommendations to update the IOM plan. The Committee's report, A Call for Action on the Tuberculosis Elimination Plan, released today on the Stop TB USA website, assesses how and why the IOM's tuberculosis elimination plan has not been fully implemented and provides updated action plans to move forward on its recommendations to accelerate progress toward tuberculosis elimination in the United States. |
