TB Summit 2014

چکیده
After last year’s success at organizing a meeting to commemorate World Tuberculosis (TB) Day, Euroscicon expanded its scope to include in-depth discussions on the latest advancements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of TB, over a threeday long (24th March – 26th March) international conference. It was a well-attended conference comprising of about 30 oral and poster presentations of primary data and a few lectures, hosted by a renowned set of clinicians, practitioners, scientists and industry executives, all involved in the day-to-day fight against TB. The O 2 Arena in East London served a fitting venue for the event, in light of the recent finding that London had the highest incidences of the infectious disease in all of western Europe.
