World TB Day 2006

Actions for life: towards a world free of tuberculosis

Date: 24 March 2006

The aim of World TB Day 2006 is to mobilize support for the fight against tuberculosis. By mobilizing communities, raising awareness, encouraging governments and donors to invest in tuberculosis control, and calling for strengthened commitment, we can ensure that tuberculosis is placed prominently on the global agenda and is eliminated by 2050.

The thematic focus for World TB Day is built on the Global Plan to Stop TB advocacy strategy, key messages and action points, and utilizes the report subtitle Actions for Life: towards a world free of tuberculosis as a basis for campaign development.
