A first step has been done - World Leaders Commit To End Tuberculosis At Historic United Nations Meeting
Intellecutal Property Watch (IP), NEW YORK - "World leaders and senior representatives came together today for the first-ever High-Level Meeting on the Fight to End Tuberculosis at United Nations headquarters in New York. At the meeting, heads of state adopted a political declaration with commitments to accelerate action and funding to end the tuberculosis epidemic by 2030.
In her opening statement, María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés of Ecuador, president of the General Assembly of the United Nations, noted that ending TB is both a “moral responsibility and a political responsibility,” and that TB is “not egalitarian” in its impact, as it primarily affects the poorest and most marginalized communities."
