April 7 of each year marks the celebration of World Health Day. From its inception at the First Health Assembly in 1948 and since taking effect in 1950, the celebration has aimed to create awareness of a specific health theme to highlight a priority area of concern for the World Health Organization.

The World Hepatitis Summit (WHS) is the only global hepatitis conference which is focussed on a multi-stakeholder, multi-sector public health approach which brings together diverse participants, from civil society to policy makers, private sector to academics, to make the dream of hepatitis elimination a reality.

WHS 2024 is organised by the World Hepatitis Alliance with the support of the Ministry of Health of Portugal.

World Hepatitis Summit 2024 is happening from 09 to 11 April in Lisbon, Portugal. Our Stop TB Partnership Executive Director Lucica Mardale will be joining the World Hepatitis Alliance and other organizations to highlight the need for coordination and integrated approaches to achieve universal health coverage and tackle both tuberculosis and hepatitis.

Implementing tNGS for Detection of Drug-Resistant TB in High Burden Countries

A webinar series organized by the Stop TB Partnership and FIND.

This webinar series will familarize participants with the recently published WHO recommendations on the use of tNGSt to detect TB drug resistance and help guide clinical decision-making, adoption considerations, available resources for implmentations, and the status of current efforts to improve assay performance. Early implementing high burden countries will share their experiences using tNGS including for clinical decision-making, and manufacturers of tNGS assays will be invited to share information on their products.

World Immunization Week, celebrated in the last week of April, aims to highlight the collective action needed and to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease.

Through its convening power, WHO works with countries across the globe to raise awareness of the value of vaccines and immunization and ensures that governments obtain the necessary guidance and technical support to implement high quality immunization programmes.

The ultimate goal of World Immunization Week is for more people – and their communities – to be protected from vaccine-preventable diseases.
