Anupriya Patel delivered the keynote address at the \u201cInteractive TB Vaccines Dialogue\u201d event organized by STOP TB Partnerships on the sidelines of the ongoing 79<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City, today. As part of ongoing initiatives to expedite the fight against tuberculosis (TB), the event convened experts, dignitaries, and critical stakeholders from around the globe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The objectives of the TB Vaccines Dialogue include: convening key and relevant country and global stakeholders and partners who, now and in the future, will be critical for the practical and realistic development and delivery of TB vaccines; and understanding and start addressing critical misconceptions, questions, and knowledge gaps, including needs, desires, and challenges related to the practical and realistic development and delivery of TB vaccines.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Delivering an affirming statement of global leadership during the Dialogue, Smt. Patel highlighted India&#8217;s role as Chair of the Stop TB Partnership Board and reiterated the nation&#8217;s commitment to eliminating TB as a public health problem by 2030\u00a0and ensuring a healthier future for all. She highlighted that \u201cIndia is progressing against the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) at a far greater pace than the global average, with a decline in TB incidence by 16% from 237 per hundred thousand population in 2015 to 199 in 2022 and a decline of 18% in TB deaths from 28 per hundred thousand population in 2015 to 23 in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"Picture_x0020_1\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image001OQLH.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She further added that, \u201cunder the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India has made remarkable strides in TB care and prevention, from infrastructure expansion to financial support for patients\u201d, referencing the National Strategic Plan that has significantly scaled up TB services nationwide. With over 7,767 molecular diagnostic laboratories, cutting-edge treatment protocols, and an 88% treatment success rate, India&#8217;s TB program has become a model for the world. India initiated Nikshay Poshan Yojana in 2018 for providing $6 USD\/month to support nutrition of TB patients for the entire duration of treatment. Cumulatively, till Aug 2024, NTEP has disbursed 373 million USD to more than 10 million TB patients.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Emphasizing the critical need for new vaccines, Smt.

So, the time to invest in innovative vaccines is now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"Picture_x0020_2\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/image002QDBM.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highlighting the \u201curgent need for an innovative and effective TB Vaccine\u201d, Smt.

Technical advances in molecular genetics and the design of viral vectors and adjuvants have facilitated TB vaccine development.\u201d She further added that \u201cwith around 16 vaccines having entered clinical trial assessments, the future of TB vaccine development looks considerably brighter than before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She highlighted India\u2019s Research &amp; Development (R&amp;D) with recombinant BCG VPM1002 and Immuvac, the ongoing trial for evaluation of BCG revaccination in adults, and another trial in Phase IIb with novel vaccine MTBVAC ongoing among adults.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Underlining the importance of the Stop TB Partnership, Smt.
