Quotes
"We have lost ground in the fight against TB
in the face of a spreading AIDS epidemic.
Today, we are calling on the world to recognise
that we cannot fight AIDS unless we do much
more to fight TB as well."
"Donors need to substantially increase their funding. This applies not only to governments, but also the private sector and private foundations."
