Faster than ever before, new technologies – such as diagnostics, fully oral treatment for TB and drug- resistant TB, digital health solutions and innovative service delivery approaches – are reshaping the TB response. The rapidly evolving operational context calls for a renewed vision, revitalized commitment, increased agility and a more fit-for-purpose response. To reinforce Region-specific efforts in reaching the global End TB Strategy targets, WHO/Europe is developing a TB action plan for the WHO European Region 2023–2030 that will define priorities for Member States in the new operating context and reflect the urgency to get back on track. In January and February 2022, WHO/Europe is conducting open consultations with Member States, technical partners, civil society organizations and affected communities to ensure that the regional strategic document reflects the needs and priorities of countries and relevant stakeholders across the Region. The final version of the new TB action plan will be submitted for adoption to the 72nd session of the Regional Committee for Europe (RC72) in September 2022. The objectives of the regional consultation for Member States are to: • ensure broad participation in, and ownership of, the TB action plan; • inform on the structure, content, targets and priority actions for WHO, partners and Member States included in the draft version of the TB action plan; and • receive feedback and reflect changes in the next version of the TB action plan.
