Whats been the driving force behind the TB resolution?
MR – The development of this resolution was initiated at the request of a Member State concerned that without long-term planning and clearly identified finances there is a barrier to TB control. TB control requires a sustained effort over many years, coordinated among a wide range of partners working together effectively. The resolution endorses the long-term 2006-2015 Global Plan, due to be launched later this year, which will support the needs of countries.
