TB Europe Coalition has become a part of the WHO Civil Society Commission!
Officially launched by WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on August 24, 2023, the commission aims to strengthen civil society organizations’ role in accelerating progress in global health.
While WHO has a long-standing tradition of working with CSOs, the establishment of the Commission takes the collaboration to a new level. The Commission provides, for the first time, the ability to channel advice and recommendations in a more structured and systematic manner from civil society to WHO on health priorities and related issues. It will also provide recommendations to support WHO in this engagement at all levels (global, regional and national) towards the achievement of universal health coverage as well as the Sustainable Development Goals.
We look forward to the opportunity to actively engage with the Commission's work to further strengthen the voice of civil society in our region and address issues related TB and other socially dangerous diseases!
