WHO publishes a document summarizing evidence gaps articulated in various WHO TB policy guidance to help steer innovation towards sustainable public health interventions required to end TB.

Achieving the goals and targets of the World Health Organization (WHO) End TB Strategy requires innovative tools and strategies as well as rapid progress towards universal access. WHO published a document serving as an update to a previously released report with an identical title. It summarizes evidence gaps articulated in various WHO TB policy guidance to help steer innovation towards sustainable, desirable, acceptable, and feasible public health interventions required to end TB. It aims to serve as a reference for research policy-makers, funders, civil society and other relevant actors on the urgent TB research priorities for policy guidance.
