ELF’s TB Community Advisory Group to present at TB conference

ELF is working with UNITE4TB, a project that plans to speed up the development of treatment for tuberculosis (TB). To make sure the project takes on board the views of people affected by TB, we have set up a Community Advisory Group (CAG). The CAG includes people with lived experience of TB and of working with TB communities throughout the world.  

On 9 November, the CAG will speak at this year’s virtual World Conference on Lung Health. The CAG will be part of the Community Connect session, where they will explain how to engage the community in TB research. They will also share what they have achieved so far in UNITE4TB.  

You can register to attend the virtual Community Connect part of the conference here for free.
