Stop TB Partnership

The National Stop TB Partnership in Japan

Stop TB Partnership Japan was established 19 November 2007. It was formed after 753 individuals showed intent of support to establish Stop TB Partnership Japan including approximately 200 senators. Strong political support allows the partnership to put TB on the national agenda and ensure that the government is dedicated to prevention, care and control of tuberculosis.
