Presentations given at this Global Health Council event highlight key challenges to scaling-up TB control in resource-strapped settings:

Presenters also discuss the role of bilateral and multilateral donors -- including The Global Fund To Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, USAID and PEPFAR -- in supporting TB control in their countries.
