Brazil
The 7th Global Forum on TB Vaccines represents the first time that the Global Forum will be hosted in the Americas. This marks the same year that Brazil presides over the G20 presidency – the third of four consecutive G20 presidencies held by high TB burden countries.
As a leader in global health research and biomedical manufacturing, and also a country with a high TB burden, Brazil plays a pivotal role in the global TB response and is a valuable contributor to innovation, research, and knowledge creation. Brazil has demonstrated its commitment to ending the TB pandemic through a range of multisectoral domestic initiatives and by taking leadership roles in global endeavors, including as co-chair of the WHO TB Vaccine Accelerator Council.
Brazil is home to world-renowned biological science research and development institutes, manufacturing facilities, and research universities, and collaborative efforts between Brazilian scientists and global researchers are helping to advance the research and development of new TB vaccines. The country also has a long-standing commitment to vaccination. Moreover, Brazil has a thriving civil society that strives to integrate community involvement in research, drawing on decades of experience in vaccine clinical trials, including for HIV.
