KNCV at the Union Conference 2026
Every year, the Union World Conference on Lung Health brings together a global community of experts, advocates, and changemakers committed to ending tuberculosis (TB). For KNCV, this gathering is a platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, learning, and building links with the communities and interest-holders that dedicate their efforts to ending TB.
