Welcome to the 2nd Stop TB Partners' Forum web site
Thank you for making World TB Day 2004 and the Second Partners' Forum a success!
The Stop TB Partnership Secretariat is pleased to announce the 2nd Stop TB Partners' Forum, which will be held 24-26 March 2004 in New Delhi, India. The Forum will convene ministerial delegations of the 22 highest tuberculosis burden countries, as well as high-level political invitees from the G-8 countries, and all Stop TB partners. The meeting will highlight progress at country level and the importance of private and civil sector involvement.
We thank Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee for presenting the opening ceremony and the Government of India for hosting the Forum. India has the largest TB burden in the world, but it is also one of the countries making the most rapid progress in expanding DOTS. With the present rate of progress, and if they continue to address the major challenges, India is going to reach the global TB targets by 2005. India is an example for many other countries struggling with TB, and the Forum will highlight the dynamic activities in the country.
