Abstract

Tuberculosis is the world's deadliest infectious disease and kills up to 1.4 million people a year. The latest diagnostic tests can rapidly and accurately diagnose T.B. New medicines can help prevent and cure T.B. Yet two years after a United Nations High-Level Meeting on T.B. in 2018, people are still dying of a disease that should have been eliminated decades ago.
