The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) will be participating in The Union World Conference on Lung Health 2023. This year’s conference will focus on transforming evidence into practice, a topic particularly relevant to children who are not always included in the latest innovations. We need implementation. We need research converted into practice. We need to strive for evidence-based health policies and decisions.
TB is one of the most common co-infections for people living with HIV, and as a leader in the pediatric TB space, EGPAF will be sharing the latest research and best practices at the conference.
