- Treatment Action Group (TAG) and the Stop TB Partnership released the report called Tuberculosis Research Funding Trends, 2005–2021.
- For the first time in history, funding for tuberculosis (TB) research and development (R&D) hit a billion dollars worldwide in 2021.
- But, this funding for TB R&D is a mere fraction of what’s needed to achieve the United Nations’ sustainable development goal of ending TB as a pandemic by 2030.
- Every day, 4,400 people continue to die from TB, a treatable and curable airborne infectious disease.
- The United Nations High-Level Meeting on TB in 2018 set the target of $2 billion per annum for R&D.
- The Stop TB Partnership’s ‘Global Plan to End TB, 2023–2030’ estimates the funding need for TB R&D to have gone up to $5 billion per annum.
