build public awareness that tuberculosis today remains an epidemic in much of the world,
causing the deaths of about 2 million people each year, mostly in developing countries.
Following corporate office call Kempinski Grand Hotel Gelendzhik Human Resources

days training class. Moreover, all the Hotel guests were informed about TB campaign through
bill boards and information cards and could make donations on www.stoptb.org
Tuberculosis is an ancient illness. By all rights – as a bacterial disease that is curable with
antimicrobial drugs – it should belong to the past. The fruits of implementing the StopTB
Strategy and the Global Plan to Stop TB are evident. The epidemic is in a steady, although
modest and slow, decline.
No one ever said this would be an easy fight. However, with the Global Plan to Stop TB 2011–
2015 the direction is set with renewed intensity in care and control efforts, and new approaches
and tools finally becoming available. We are now at the start of a road that should take us
towards the achievable goal of TB elimination.
