About The Union

Established in 1920, the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) is committed to creating a healthier world for all, free of tuberculosis and lung disease.

The Union is a global membership, technical and scientific organisation.

Our vision and mission

Our vision

A healthier world for all, free of tuberculosis and lung disease

Our mission

The Union strives to end suffering due to tuberculosis and lung diseases, old and new, by advancing better prevention and care.

We seek to achieve this by the generation, dissemination and implementation of knowledge into policy and practice.

We aim to ensure that no-one is left behind, people are treated equally and we have a focus on vulnerable and marginalised populations and communities.

Our governance

The Union is led by elected representatives, staff and consultants, and its membership.

The elected leadership is comprised of the Board of Directors, the Coordinating Committee of Scientific Activities (CCSA), and the Community Advisory Panel (UCAP).

The Bureau is sub-committee of the Board of Directors that meets every two weeks and governs The Union between Board meetings.

The Union's Management Team, headed up by the Executive Director, comprises the Heads of Managed Units, Scientific Departments and Country Offices, as well as a core team of Central Services.

While our members inform, support and help steer the organisation.
