Bill Summary
A BILL To prevent, treat, and cure tuberculosis globally.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent, treat, and cure tuberculosis (TB) globally. It amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to make ending the TB pandemic a major objective of U.S. foreign assistance programs. The bill requires the President to establish goals for U.S. TB programs aligned with the World Health Organization's End TB Strategy, and to coordinate with international organizations like the Stop TB Partnership. It also mandates annual reports on U.S. TB activities and progress, as well as reports on TB research and development. The bill seeks to accelerate actions to support the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of TB, and to prevent new infections, in order to reduce TB deaths, incidence, and the financial burden on families by 2035.
