The Global Partnership to Stop TB.
To describe the need for a partnership, its development, its aims and how it goes about its business.
The international health community finds itself working under new constraints and in the presence of new actors and opportunities, including globalisation, economic and cultural changes, lack of resources, and the need for intersectoral collaboration. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared tuberculosis a global emergency in 1993. However, political commitment to controlling the growing pandemic was lacking, and TB continued to exact its remorseless toll. The Global Partnership to Stop TB can be seen as the result of the development over the last century of progressively more powerful forms of international organisations against tuberculosis. An outline is given of the current Global Partnership to Stop TB, including its goals, its progress from values to achievements and how it functions through various bodies.
The Partnership is potentially an effective model for other public health issues. As such, it can contribute to and catalyse a new era of international cooperation.
全球抗击结核病伙伴关系。
描述建立伙伴关系的必要性、其发展历程、目标以及运作方式。
国际卫生界发现自身在新的限制条件下开展工作，同时面临新的行为体和机遇，包括全球化、经济和文化变革、资源匮乏以及跨部门合作的需求。世界卫生组织（WHO）于1993年宣布结核病为全球紧急情况。然而，当时缺乏控制这一日益严重的流行病的政治承诺，结核病继续造成无情的损失。全球抗击结核病伙伴关系可被视为上个世纪针对结核病的国际组织形式日益强大的发展成果。文中概述了当前的全球抗击结核病伙伴关系，包括其目标、从价值观到成就的进展情况以及通过各种机构的运作方式。
该伙伴关系有可能成为其他领域的有效模式。因此，它可为国际合作的新时代做出贡献并起到推动作用。
