The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) will be participating in The Union World Conference on Lung Health 2022. This year’s virtual conference will focus on combatting the pandemics of today and tomorrow. Whether it is COVID-19 or Tuberculosis (TB), lung health pandemics continue to cause havoc the world over, exposing inequalities while also revealing how interconnected we truly all are. As we work towards averting future pandemics, we must not forget existing pandemics like TB and ensure we serve those who are most vulnerable.
As a leader in the pediatric TB space, one of the most common co-infections for people living with HIV, EGPAF staff will be sharing research and best practices. Presentations at the conference will highlight the work of the Foundation on tuberculosis, especially linked to the recently closed Catalyzing Pediatric Tuberculosis Innovations (CaP TB) project.
