We are pleased to present to you the slogan and theme for World TB Day 2012.
Slogan:
Stop TB in my lifetime
Theme:
Call for a world free of TB
Concept
In their lifetimes, today's children should expect to see a world where no one gets sick with TB. In their lifetimes, women and men should expect to see a world where no one dies from TB.
The World TB Day Campaign 2012 will allow people all over the world to make an individual call to stop TB and say what changes they expect in their lifetimes.
Campaign
People all over the world, from the youngest to the oldest, will be asked to make the call, Stop TB in my lifetime. The Stop TB Partnership will provide a template with which people of all ages all over the world can make posters of themselves and add a message about what they expect to change about TB in their lifetimes. We'll encourage the sharing of these posters and also videos through social media (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and the World TB Day Blog).
The campaign will be launched officially at the International Conference of the Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease ( Lille , France ) in October 2011.
We at the Stop TB Partnership hope you will join us in giving this exciting new campaign your full support.
Warm regards,
from the Stop TB Partnership Secretariat

Local realities in tuberculosis (TB) care and control
The Global Fund's 4th Partnership Forum will soon open in Sao Paolo, Brazil (28-30 June 2011). In the lead up to the Partnership Forum, the CNS Stop-TB Initiative is opening a time-limited online discussion (9-23 June 2011) to document voices from the frontlines on issues around TB care and control in local contexts. The guiding question is: what are the challenges and successes in TB care and control in your local setting? Please have your say.

Has anyone created a self-assessment framework yet for TB Competence? Indocompetence could use one.

Thanks Gaston for your comment. Congratulations to your father who stopped smoking 3 months ago - this is indeed inspiring to learn on how family support and strong will power can lead individuals to get rid of addictions like tobacco. Thanks for sharing Gaston, this is surely a SALTy start of the year of the Lungs 2010 :)

Hi Bobby, good to see you again.
Well, this reminds me that my father finally stopped smoking 3 months ago. I asked him what made him stop. He said: not that other people complained about the smell, told me that I had to stop, that it was so bad for my health. The thing that really helped him was his children expressing their belief in his capacity to stop and showing him that he has the discipline it takes as he showed in earlier challenges. A nice SALTy start of the New Year.
Warm regards,
Gaston
