@nschwalbe @StopTB @johngreen @GFadvocates It is indeed a bit depressing although the declaration was good from treatment perspective atleast. Less political presence says something !

@nschwalbe @StopTB @johngreen @GFadvocates The leaders of countries with the highest burden of TB were absent! Very disappointing. And focus on a future solution, no focus on access for current treatments and improved diagnostics.
