Bill > S288

This bill, the "End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2024," aims to prevent, treat, and cure tuberculosis (TB) globally. It amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to establish a major objective of U.S. foreign assistance programs to help end the TB public health emergency. The bill outlines various policies and goals to support the World Health Organization's End TB Strategy and the Stop TB Partnership's Global Plan to End TB, such as increasing active case finding, expanding diagnosis and treatment, ensuring high-quality TB care, and strengthening the capacity of health systems to detect, prevent, and treat all forms of TB. The bill also authorizes the President to provide assistance for these efforts and requires annual reporting on U.S. TB activities and research and development progress.
