About the Stop TB Partnership

The Stop TB Partnership was established in 2000 to realize the goal of eliminating TB as a public health problem and, ultimately, to obtain a world free of TB. It comprises a network of international organizations, countries, donors from the public and private sectors, governmental and nongovernmental organizations and individuals that have expressed an interest in working together to achieve this goal.

In order to achieve our mission and make our vision a reality, the Stop TB Partnership has set the following goals:

• Promote wider and wiser use of existing strategies to interrupt TB transmission by:
  • increasing access to accurate diagnosis and effective treatments by accelerating DOTS implementation to achieve the global targets for TB control; and
  • increasing the availability, affordability and quality of anti-TB drugs.
• Derive strategies to address the challenges posed by emerging threats by:
  • adapting DOTS to prevent and manage MDR-TB, and to reduce the impact of HIV-related TB.
• Accelerate elimination of TB, by:
  • promoting research and development for new TB drugs, diagnostics and vaccines; and
  • promoting adoption of new and improved tools by ensuring appropriate use, access and affordability.

I take this opportunity to present few other international organizations helping out in this process. I cannot enumerate numerous local organizations striving hard for a healthy India and which are mostly ignored. I repeat a thyagaraja's saying here which is very much contextual.
