Stop TB Partnership 410d ago

The purpose of this webinar is to raise the relevance and impact of private health care services through information about advancements in TB care and to build the capacity of members of national medical associations to hold meaningful dialogues with their respective governments and as effective partners in national efforts to end TB. The 2025 theme for World TB Day is, “Yes! We Can End TB: Commit, Invest, Deliver”. This webinar proposes to promote the understanding that ending TB requires a united and concerted global effort, with the medical profession represented through national medical associations playing a leading role in efforts to achieve this goal, along with governments and TB-affected communities. The Leadership Summit is hosted by the PSP Constituency of the Stop TB Partnership and supported by the CMA and CMAAO. It consists of a 3-hour Continuing Medical Education session, held as a webinar on Sunday, April 27, 2025, starting at 10am (Central European Summer Time/CEST). The webinar will be graced by Dr Teodoro Javier Herbosa, Honorable Secretary of the Department of Health, Government of The Philippines, and Chair, Stop TB Partnership, who will give the keynote address. The agenda for the summit includes technical sessions ranging from screening, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of TB, public health aspects of TB care from the point of view of private doctors, and mitigation of social challenges affecting people affected by TB.
