"Mr President, in this day and age, no one should be dying from TB.
That is what Ban Ki Moon said today, on World Tuberculosis Day.
He is right, of course. Nevertheless, very many people around the world are still dying of tuberculosis today, particularly the young and the poor. We therefore need to increase our aid to the global fund that is responsible for a very large proportion of the work to combat tuberculosis, malaria and HIV in the poorer areas of the world.
However, as the Commission pointed out, people in Europe are also dying of tuberculosis. We need to increase our cooperation to stop the spread of multi-resistant TB and to find effective treatments which reach all of the vulnerable groups in society.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, based in Solna in Sweden, has a very important role to play here and I am pleased that the Commission has made it a priority to come here and hold a debate on this important subject today."@en1
