Reflecting on the past year, we extend our sincere thanks to the dedicated learners who joined us in our mission to combat tuberculosis through education and training. In 2024, the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) organised 29 training events, both in-person and online, totalling 450 hours of training. Nearly 3,000 individuals from around the world participated, gaining valuable knowledge and skills to better serve their communities.
Our courses covered various topics related to tuberculosis (TB) care and prevention, addressing key challenges and best practices in TB management. Through these diverse educational initiatives, The Union continued to support healthcare professionals, TB program managers and researchers worldwide.

As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to providing high-quality training that supports your professional development. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to continuing this journey with you.
