World TB Day 2007: TB Anywhere is TB Everywhere

TB ANYWHERE IS TB EVERYWHERE is the theme for 2007 World TB Day, March 24th, offering a message of urgency and shared responsibility. The theme emphasizes that although TB is a preventable and curable disease, it remains a global emergency. It reflects the chronically inadequate investment in TB control, surveillance, research and development as well as TB's deadly synergy with HIV.
The website includes planning guidance as well as advocacy materials and resources.
