Private Sector Roundtable on Global Health Security (PSRT)

Today, on World Tuberculosis Day, we're reminded that TB remains one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases, despite being preventable and curable. In 2023, 10.8 million people fell ill with TB, and 1.25 million died from the disease.?Notably, nearly 90% of new TB cases occur among individuals aged 15–64—the most economically productive years of life. The rise of drug-resistant TB and barriers to timely care threaten not only public health but also workforce stability and economic growth. At the Private Sector Roundtable on Global Health Security (PSRT), we recognize that ending TB is not just a health goal—it’s a business and economic priority. Let's strengthen public-private partnerships to end TB and build resilient health systems worldwide. #WorldTBDay #EndTB #GlobalHealthSecurity #WorkforceHealth #PSRT #PublicPrivatePartnerships #HealthEquity

This week the White House launched the U.S. Global Health Security Strategy (GHSS), signaling a strong commitment to protecting lives and economic well-being worldwide. We thank the White House for including the Private Sector Roundtable on Global Health Security (PSRT) as a key partner to help achieve the goals in their strategy. This strategy emphasizes: 1. Strengthening partnerships with 50 countries to boost global health security capacities. 2. Catalyzing political commitment and financing for health security leadership. 3. Maximizing impact by linking health security with complementary programs. ? Businesses are crucial partners in advancing global health security. We look forward to collaborating with the U.S. government on ways that the private sector can support U.S. global health security strategies. Let's unite for a healthier, safer future! #GHSS #GlobalHealthSecurity #HealthForAll #Partnerships
