Statement from UK political leaders

World tuberculosis (TB) Day (24th March 2012) provides an opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been made in recent years in the fight against diseases of poverty like TB, but also to highlight the challenges that we still face.

Since 1995 nearly 50 million people have been successfully treated for tuberculosis worldwide, saving almost 7 million lives. Recently there has also been significant progress in the development of new tools to tackle TB like diagnostics that will be vital to the aspiration of eradicating the disease in the future.

Despite such progress however, challenges remain as TB continues to kill over 3,800 people daily, despite being treatable and curable. TB is still a leading cause of death among people living with HIV and drug resistant strains of the disease continue to rise globally. We remain committed to addressing tuberculosis and will continue to seek to stay ahead of the disease as it evolves and builds resistance.
