End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2024
The End Tuberculosis Now Act of 2024 establishes a U.S. government policy to accelerate global efforts to eliminate tuberculosis (TB), focusing on countries with the highest TB burden. It requires the President to set specific goals aligned with the World Health Organization's End TB Strategy, aiming to reduce TB deaths by 95% and TB incidence by 90% by 2035. The bill mandates annual reporting on U.S. TB assistance programs, including diagnostics, treatment, and prevention efforts, while requiring coordination with international partners like the World Health Organization and Stop TB Partnership. It emphasizes research for new TB diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines, and ensures TB programs can serve as platforms for responding to future respiratory pandemics.
