Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT /en/events/world-tuberculosis-day/ Tuberculosis (TB) is the world’s deadliest infectious disease, causing over 1.2 million deaths globally in 2024. Despite being preventable and curable, TB remains a persistent, evolving threat that demands urgency, collaboration, innovation and smart investment. Tue, 24 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://globalfund.exposure.co/innovation-access-and-impact-accelerating-the-fight-to-end-tb New technologies — from rapid molecular diagnostics and AI-enabled X-ray detection, to shorter, all-oral treatment regimens — are transforming what’s possible in the fight against, tuberculosis (TB), the world’s deadliest infectious disease claiming more than 1.2 million lives each year. Today, the challenge is no longer innovation alone. Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT /en/opinion/2026/2026-03-19-new-front-line-ai-innovations-transforming-fight-against-tb/ There’s no shortage of hype about AI in health care, but in the fight against tuberculosis (TB), AI is already powering a revolution. Handheld digital X-ray devices use AI to stabilize the image. AI analysis of X-ray results enable high volume, high-quality screening for TB cases in even the poorest, most difficult contexts where doctors are in short supply and radiologists nonexistent. This isn’t some vision of the future, but already reality in over 22 countries where the Global Fund invests in TB programs.

The Secretariat recognizes the seriousness of the issues identified regarding the effectiveness, governance, and operating model of the Independent Evaluation Function. The Secretariat agrees that incremental or short-term mitigations would not sufficiently address the underlying challenges highlighted in this report. Accordingly, the Strategy Committee and the Secretariat will work together to reflect on the audit findings and develop a comprehensive approach fully considering the mandate, positioning, governance, and operating model of the future evaluation function. This work will be done under the direction of the Strategy Committee and will include engagement with the Board. A comprehensive action plan will be developed starting in March, with regular Board progress updates over the course of 2026.
