Financing the future of TB control: from dependence to resilience
1Editor in Chief, Public Health Action, The Union, Paris, France.
Abstract:
Recent cuts in international donor funding threaten global progress in TB control, particularly in countries that are heavily reliant on external support. With TB still the deadliest infectious disease, reduced funding could lead to millions of preventable cases and deaths. However, this crisis also presents an opportunity: governments must increase domestic investment, integrate TB care into broader health systems, and build resilient, patient-centered services. Doing so strengthens pandemic preparedness and addresses climate-related health risks. Ultimately, sustained progress against TB requires strong national leadership to move from donor dependency to self-reliant, equitable and sustainable health systems.
