Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps her Department plans to take to help end the global TB epidemic.
The UK is committed to tackling TB. This includes our funding to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, to which we pledged £1.4 billion in the sixth replenishment (2020-2022). We also invest in TB research and innovation to help people access new TB treatments and diagnostics. Our health investments help countries affected by TB to build stronger and more inclusive health systems to address all causes of ill health.
