Yesterday, the United States Senate unanimously passed the End Tuberculosis Now Act, legislation introduced by Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) to prioritize the elimination of tuberculosis (TB) in U.S. foreign assistance. By enhancing coordination and prioritization of research, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, this bipartisan legislation aims to advance and modernize U.S. engagement in the global effort to eradicate TB by 2035.
