Centre of Research Excellence in Tuberculosis Control on both sides of our border.

结核病仍然是世界范围内一个巨大的健康问题，亚太地区耐药结核病发病率的上升对澳大利亚构成了特别的威胁。世卫组织新的终止结核病战略旨在到2035年大幅减少结核病病例数、死亡人数和社会经济影响。该CRE将利用临床、实验室和社区研究方面的专业知识，帮助提供必要的证据和新工具，以消除澳大利亚的结核病传播，并加强我们地区的结核病控制。

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an enormous health problem worldwide and rising rates of drug resistant TB in the Asia-Pacific region pose a particular threat to Australia. The WHO’s new End TB strategy aims to drastically reduce TB case numbers, deaths and socio-economic impacts by 2035. This CRE will harness expertise in clinical, laboratory and community research to help provide the necessary evidence and new tools to eliminate TB transmission in Australia and strengthen TB control in our region.
