TB prevention activities in the WHO European Region
The survey identified several important areas that the PASS initiative will focus on to accelerate efforts towards reaching the targets set at the 2027 UN High-Level Meeting on TB for preventive therapy in the European Region. This will require a massive scale-up of efforts and larger investments, as well as coordinated approaches and interventions across the 'cascade' of prevention, from the identification of target populations to the completion of treatment.
