The motion
That the Parliament notes that 24 March 2020 marks World Tuberculosis Day; understands that tuberculosis (TB) remains the world’s deadliest infectious disease, killing 1.5 million people each year; notes what it sees as uneven progress in the delivery of the commitments made at the UN High-Level Meeting on TB, including efforts to diagnose and treat 40 million people with TB by 2022, and dramatically increase investments in research; considers that the most vulnerable and marginalised are at greatest risk of both TB and drug-resistant TB, including in Scotland; acknowledges the successful replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and notes the vital work carried out by clinical staff, scientists and civil society organisations across Scotland, and globally, to deliver on the sustainable development goal of ending TB by 2030.
