On 24 May, the WHA urged the WHO Director-General, Member States and partners to continue support to preparations for the high-level meeting of the UN General Assembly on ending tuberculosis in September this year. The resolution also commits Member States to accelerate their actions to end TB, building on the commitments of the WHO Global Ministerial Conference on Ending TB, held in Moscow in November 2017. It welcomes WHO's draft multisectoral accountability framework on accelerating progress to end TB, and supports its further development, adaptation and use. It also requests the Secretariat to develop a new global strategy for TB research and nnovation, building on the Moscow Declaration to End TB.
