World TB Day 2022
Each year, we commemorate World Tuberculosis (TB) Day on March 24 to raise public awareness about the devastating health, social and economic consequences of TB, and to step up efforts to end the global TB epidemic. The date marks the day in 1882 when Dr Robert Koch announced that he had discovered the bacterium that causes TB, which opened the way towards diagnosing and curing this disease.
TB remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious killers. Each day, over 4100 people lose their lives to TB and close to 28,000 people fall ill with this preventable and curable disease. Global efforts to combat TB have saved an estimated 66 million lives since the year 2000. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has reversed years of progress made in the fight to end TB. For the first time in over a decade, TB deaths increased in 2020.
The theme of World TB Day 2022 – ‘Invest to End TB. Save Lives.’ –conveys the urgent need to invest resources to ramp up the fight against TB and achieve the commitments to end TB made by global leaders. This is especially critical in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic that has put End TB progress at risk, and to ensure equitable access to prevention and care in line with WHO’s drive towards achieving Universal Health Coverage.
More investment will save millions more lives, accelerating the end of the TB epidemic.

WORLD TB DAY 2022
This year is a critical year for all of us in the global fight to end TB as we countdown to reach the UN High-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on TB targets which the international community agreed to meet by the end of December.
Ongoing COVID-19 efforts and a catastrophic funding gap of US$ 9 billion threatens to hamper global progress to combat TB. This is why we have chosen “Invest to End TB. Save Lives” as the theme for this year’s World TB Day campaign, which officially starts today.
The Stop TB Partnership and all partners are calling on all those involved in the fight against TB to unite under this overarching theme and sound the alarm that the low levels of funding for the TB response year after year cannot continue nor be accepted anymore. Of the US$ 15 billion annual funding for TB promised by world leaders at the UNHLM in 2018, less than half has been delivered. World leaders must step up and triple or quadruple the funding to save lives and end TB by 2030.
INVEST TO END TB. SAVE LIVES.

ENTERING ESTONIA
All Ukrainian citizens can come to Estonia without a visa, including those without a biometric passport.
You can apply for international protection at the border or at a Police and Border Guard Board service point. The applicant has the right to stay in Estonia and will receive means of subsistence (accommodation, food, clothes, health services etc). Those who receive international protection will get a temporary residence permit and the right to work in Estonia. Applicants can live at the state-managed accommodation center or with relatives and friends who live in Estonia.
If you are not a citizen of Ukraine, the regular process of entering Estonia applies to you (visas, asylum applications, residence permits etc).

Currently it is possible to come to Estonia from Ukraine with a pet even if they do not fill the necessary requirements for travel (microchip/tattoo, rabies vaccination, documents). In that case you will need to fill out a form and send it to the Agriculture and Food Board and the Tax and Customs Board.
