A Strategic Approach to Global Tuberculosis

Beginning in May 2013, the CSIS Global Health Policy Center (GHPC) organized an active working group, comprised of leading experts on tuberculosis (TB), to examine how TB relates to U.S. national interests, the structure and effectiveness of U.S. TB programs, and the most critical challenges in addressing global TB. On June 9, CSIS will host a public event, "A Strategic Approach to Global Tuberculosis," and will release six in-depth policy analyses, accompanied by an overview report summarizing the major findings and recommendations of the working group.
