The search for innovative and effective ways of tackling tuberculosis (TB) in the African Region is gaining momentum. TB experts from West and Central African countries are meeting in Cotonou, Benin to share best practices and lessons learnt in Tuberculosis case finding and treatment.
The meeting brings together National Tuberculosis Programme Managers, TB experts, partners and representatives of civil societies to agree on ways to prevent, and control tuberculosis in the sub-regions. The meeting is part of a collaborative initiative between several institutions among whom are The Global Fund to fight Aids, TB and Malaria, WHO, Stop TB partnership, The Union, Damian Foundation, USAID, and the West African Regional Network for Tuberculosis control (WARN-TB).
