Progressing towards tuberculosis elimination in the European Union and European Economic Area.

On the occasion of World Tuberculosis Day on 24 March, the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe (WHO/Europe) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) annually publish a joint report on TB surveillance and monitoring, based on data collected at national level in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) countries and countries in the WHO European Region overall. This report allows to assess the progress made towards prevention and control of TB in the EU/EEA and in the WHO European Region.
