Report of the 10th Meeting of the Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for TB

Overview

WHO recognizes its critical role in supporting urgent national efforts to enable universal access to treatment and care in order to meet the Millennium Development Goal 6 of reversing TB incidence and the Stop TB targets of halving TB prevalence and mortality rates by 2015. The WHO Secretariat requires ongoing scientific, technical and strategic advice in TB care and control from its Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for Tuberculosis (STAG-TB) to help guide implementation of the Stop TB Strategy and the Stop TB Partnership's Global Plan to Stop TB, 2006– 2015.

The tenth meeting of STAG-TB took place at WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on 27–29 September 2010. The meeting was organized by the WHO Stop TB Department (HTM/STB), which provides the Secretariat for the STAG-TB.
