Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill would update U.S. foreign assistance law to make fighting tuberculosis (TB) a major priority of U.S. global health policy.
What it would do
- It would rewrite an existing section of the Foreign Assistance Act to focus more specifically on preventing, diagnosing, treating, and eliminating TB worldwide .
-
It says the U.S. should support efforts to:
- find TB cases earlier, including through active case finding and contact tracing;
- treat adults and children with all forms of TB, including latent TB;
- expand preventive treatment for people at high risk;
- improve TB infection control in places like hospitals and prisons;
- support better diagnostics, medicines, and vaccines;
- reduce cost and supply barriers to TB care; and
- help integrate TB services into primary health care systems where appropriate.
- It encourages the use of newer tools such as molecular diagnostics, telehealth solutions, and safer oral treatments.
- It directs U.S. programs to pay special attention to countries with the highest TB rates and to high-risk groups, including people with HIV, children, prisoners, migrants, miners, and people exposed to silica.
Goals and priorities
-
The President would be directed to set goals for the period from
January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2030
to:
- reduce TB incidence by 80% from 2015 levels;
- reduce TB deaths by 90% from 2015 levels;
- diagnose and start treatment for 90% of new TB cases;

- international organizations;
- nonprofit groups; and
- the private sector.

Reporting and oversight

- numbers of people diagnosed and treated;
- treatment completion rates;
- training activities;
- funding amounts and spending categories;
