Diagnosis

Table A.3.1. Guideline development group members: “Targeted next-generation sequencing” 2–5 May 2023

The political declaration at the first United Nations (UN) high-level meeting on tuberculosis (TB) held on 26 September 2018 included commitments by Member States to four new global targets ³ , which were subsequently renewed at the second UN high-level meeting on TB on 22 September 2023⁴ . One of these targets is that at least 90 per cent of the estimated number of people who develop TB are reached with quality-assured diagnosis and treatment in the 5-year period 2023–2027³ .

The recommendations included in these consolidated policy guidelines on tuberculosis (TB) are the result of a collaborative effort among professionals from a range of specialities. The World Health Organization (WHO) is grateful for their time and support.
