RSVP

Tuberculosis (TB) is the second leading infectious killer after COVID-19, despite it being preventable, treatable, and curable. Among children, the problem is even worse. TB is the sixth highest cause of death in children under five years, including many children living with HIV.

Join the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) and its partners for a webinar exploring the crisis around childhood and adolescent TB. In advance of World TB Day (March 24), the experts discuss ways to address the persistent policy and practice challenges to achieving national and global targets.

Panelists include:

• Dr. Farai Mavhunga, Unit Head, Vulnerable Populations, Communities and Comorbidities, Global Tuberculosis Programme, World Health Organization
• Annemieke Brands, Technical Officer, Child and Adolescent TB, World Health Organization
• Dr. Suvanand Sahu, Deputy Executive Director, Stop TB Partnership
• John Ditekemena, Regional Director, Program Implementation and Country Management, EGPAF
• Lindsay McKenna, TB Project Co-Director, Treatment Action Group
• Catherine Connor, Vice President, Public Policy & Advocacy, EGPAF (moderator)

This webinar will be live-streamed and offered in English, French, and Portuguese. Registration is required. EGPAF will share a recording at the conclusion of the webinar for attendees.
