24 of March is a World TB Day 2020.World TB Day is a big moment to sound the alarm, raise attention, and tell world leaders to follow through on their promise to diagnose and treat 40 million people with TB by 2022, as agreed at the UN High-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on TB in September 2018.
We all need to work together now on important activities to make sure that World TB Day 2020 is the biggest and most effective.
What we together can do?
- REACH OUT
Reach out to your political leaders (Mayors, Parliamentarians, Ministers of Health, Heads of State) to request their leadership in the fight to END TB, remind them of the commitments and targets that have to be reached by the end of 2022, and request their engagement for World TB Day. This could include making a public statement, supporting an event, introducing a motion in parliament, or committing to achieve the UNHLM country targets. - GET SOCIAL
The hashtags for this year’s World TB Day are #ItsTimetoEndTB and #WorldTBDay. Start raising awareness through social media. Share your plans with us on Twitter or Facebook. - MAKE IT STARRY
Reach out to celebrities, influencers, TV personalities, and other figures to ask them to join your efforts and raise awareness or wear a red arrow pin ahead of World TB Day. Stop TB partnership has a list of national celebrities, journalists and personalities that we can share with you case by case, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to get their contacts. - TEAM UP
