The National Stop TB Partnership in the USA

Stop TB USA was originally founded in 1992 as the National Coalition for Elimination of Tuberculosis and organized to address the failure of domestic TB control. At that time, TB cases were increasing in the U.S. and there were outbreaks of multiple-drug resistant TB. There were 58 founding members (83 individuals) from public health, health care, professional medical organizations, and Congressional Health committees concerned with the care of individuals with tuberculosis or its control. The main goals of Stop TB USA are to serve as a channel of scientific and public health knowledge for the public and policy makers on the status of tuberculosis elimination globally, nationally and at state and local levels; to bring partners together with a clear agreement on the shared objectives for eliminating tuberculosis in the United States; and to stand with our colleagues in the effort to eliminate tuberculosis globally.
