Asia Pacific TB Caucus

The Asia Pacific TB Caucus is a unique international network of political representatives, the first regional network of the Global TB Caucus. Led by its members for its members, with the support of a dedicated Secretariat, the members of the Caucus work collectively and individually to end the TB epidemic.

Members of the Caucus adhere to the principles outlined in the founding document, the Barcelona Declaration. In particular they commit:

• To working across geographical and political divides in a non-partisan and inclusive fashion;
• To engaging with civil society and all other stakeholders involved in the fight against the TB epidemic; and
• To confront stigma and social isolation associated with the disease.

The Caucus is committed to developing and supporting local political representatives to lead the fight against the disease in their own context.
