The STOP TB Partnership's theme for World TB Day 2011 is "On the Move Against Tuberculosis: Transforming the Fight Towards Elimination." The campaign was inspired by the Global Plan to Stop TB 2011-2015: Transforming the Fight-Towards Elimination of Tuberculosis, which was launched by the Stop TB Partnership in October 2010. This year's campaign will focus on recognizing individuals – doctors, nurses, managers, patients, activists and advocates, and researchers around the world who have found new ways to fight and stop TB in different settings and can serve as an inspiration to others.
