The Union Conference on Lung Health is an internationally recognized event that serves as a crucial platform for professionals dedicated to lung health, tuberculosis control, and respiratory disease prevention. Hosted annually by the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union), this conference gathers experts, policymakers, researchers, and healthcare providers from across the globe to share knowledge, discuss innovations, and strategize on combating lung health issues. The 2024 conference in Bali, Indonesia, is particularly significant as it marks a pivotal moment for global health initiatives post-pandemic, aiming to address the new challenges and opportunities in tuberculosis and lung health. Indonesia, as the host country, holds a critical position in the global fight against tuberculosis, being one of the highest burden countries for the disease. The conference in Bali offers a unique opportunity to highlight Indonesia’s efforts and advancements in tuberculosis control. By participating in this conference, USAID BEBAS-TB can contribute to and benefit from the collective expertise and experiences shared during the event, enhancing our own strategies and practices in combating TB in Indonesia. USAID BEBAS-TB’s participation in the Union Conference is driven by the objective to strengthen our knowledge base, foster international collaborations, and present our own research and initiatives on a global stage. Vital Strategies is coordinating and overseeing a comprehensive plan for ensuring USAID BEBAS-TB and partner’ effective participation and representation at the conference. By coordinating logistics, preparing participants, and providing on-site support, we aim to maximize the impact of BEBAS-TB’s presence at the Union Conference, contributing to both the global discourse and to local project efforts in tuberculosis control.
