About Stop TB CanadaSTOP TB – Halte à la Tuberculose-CANADA formed Febrary 2001 as an initiative to support Canada's commitment to reduce global TB through advocacy, education, coordination, and communication. The Canadian Stop TB Conference in Edmonton, Alberta (February 2001) brought together individuals and representatives of Canadian Academia, Government, Non Governmental Organizations, TB controllers, and Advocacy groups to discuss Canada's commitment to the Okinawa resolution of the G-8 to reduce poverty and diseases of poverty like tuberculosis. Global STOP TB initiative formed in 1999 to control tuberculosis by a worldwide alliance working to increase the adoption of DOTS (the strategy to cure TB), provide a global drug facility, develop new drugs, vaccines and diagnostics, and motivate the social mobilization of civil society. The Government of Canada supports the G-8 Okinawa declaration of reducing poverty and diseases of poverty, including TB by 50% by 2010. Help ensure that the Government of Canada fulfills its promise by writing a letter or creating awareness of what Canadians can and are doing to help fight TB.  |
