L'Union internationale contre la tuberculose et les maladies pulmonaires

Established in 1920, The Union is committed to a healthier world for all, free of tuberculosis and lung disease. The Union’s approach to tackling global health problems is unique – KNOW. SHARE. ACT. We start with developing knowledge through global research (KNOW), which we then share as widely as possible (SHARE) and turn that into the real action to save lives on a local level (ACT). The Union aims to ensure that no one is left behind, people are treated equally and we have a focus on vulnerable and marginalised populations and communities. One of the unique features of The Union – and one that marks us out amongst the many international organisations and agencies working to promote health – is the fact that it remains a membership organisation, today with individual and organisational members in 119 countries around the world. The Union works hand-in-hand with countries, international agencies and public health partners.
