Stop TB Partnership launches 2021 Kochon Prize call for nominations
Celebrating TB heroes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
15 June 2021, Geneva, Switzerland - The COVID-19 pandemic
continues to have a catastrophic impact worldwide on the most
vulnerable communities affected by TB, posing unprecedented
challenges to national TB responses and setting critical
progress back by up to 12 years.
Despite these
obstacles, health care workers - including community health care
workers, volunteers, doctors and nurses, pharmacists,
epidemiologists, researchers and innovators - have persevered in
their efforts to find, diagnose, treat, and care for people
affected by TB.
This year, the Kochon Prize will
acknowledge the efforts of those remarkable people and/or
organizations who, against all odds, worked to ensure the
continuity and improvement of TB services providing life-saving
diagnosis, treatment, care, and support to those who need it
most.
Full details regarding the nomination process, including the selection committee, the selection criteria, and requirements, can be found here.
The call for nominations is open until 30 July 2021.
