At the recent World Conference on Lung Health, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced a $38.3 million investment in three partnerships working to develop drugs and vaccines to fight tuberculosis.
The commitment is the largest investment a single country has made in research of the illness to date.
Billed as the second-deadliest infectious disease behind AIDS, tuberculosis kills nearly 2 million people each year.
