The Technical Advisory Group for Tuberculosis (TAG-TB) was established in September 2003 to provide independent review and technical advice on TB to the WHO Regional Director for Europe, particularly on areas related to TB prevention and care in the Region.

TAG-TB members are individuals with substantial technical expertise and experience in areas related to TB and TB/HIV prevention and care, including public health, epidemiology, health systems, medical products and technologies, surveillance, related communicable and non-communicable diseases, social science, and civil society. Members are nominated on the basis of their individual expertise rather than their affiliation with an organization or institution.

Terms of Reference and Membership

The overall objective of the Technical Advisory Group on Tuberculosis (TAG-TB) for the WHO European Region is to provide an independent review and expert technical opinion on the prevention and care of TB, drug-resistant (DR) TB and HIV-associated TB (TB/HIV) to the Regional Director of the WHO Regional Office for Europe.

I have been working with the TAG-TB since 2015. Firstly as a temporary advisor and then as a full member.
