Report provides recommendations for action on TB among children

In a guest post on the Global Health Technology Coalition's "Breakthroughs" blog, Mandy Slutsker, senior project associate with the ACTION Partnership, describes a new report that calls for increased efforts to fight tuberculosis (TB) among children worldwide (Lufkin, 11/13). The report, titled "Children and Tuberculosis: From Neglect to Action," "makes some core recommendations for donor governments and high burden countries to tackle the rates of children with TB and the knock-on financial and social difficulties faced by millions," according to the TB Europe Coalition (11/13). In the GHTC's blog, Slutsker writes, "It's time for civil society, health care workers, governments, and the private sector to come together and ensure no child dies from this preventable and treatable disease" (11/13).
