Abstract: Just as tuberculosis services were recovering after the COVID-19 pandemic disruptions, abrupt funding cuts by G7 nations are putting progress at risk. These trends, while perilous, also reveal a turning point toward a more equitable, resilient, and self-reliant TB response, led by high-burden countries.In this Perspective, Madhukar Pai and colleagues highlight that while international health aid cuts are impacting the tuberculosis response, they also present an opportunity to shift towards a more equitable, resilient, and self-reliant TB response, led by high-burden countries.
