16. 协委会第 42 次会议的专题部分的讨论主题是消灭结核病和艾滋病。专题部分指出，生物医学干预措施与保护人权、消除贫穷、贫困生活和工作条件、污染等结构性干预措施相结合时，效果最明显。艾滋病毒和结核病方案应整合起来，并且共同倡导为推进全民健康保障而做出必要政治承诺，包括可持续健康供资、卫生系统治理、基本药物和保健产品、服务交付和质量。国内新型供资机制固然重要，但国际供资也必不可少。会议达成以下结论：结核病高级别会议为推进旨在于 2030 年消灭结核病的行动提供了机会，并且应与有关非传染性疾病和全民健康保障的其他高级别会议联系起来。记录专题部分关键信息的协委会主席函已提交给结核病高级别会议的共同协调人。
16. The thematic segment of the 42nd PCB meeting was dedicated to discussing ending tuberculosis and AIDS. It was noted that the impact of biomedical interventions is highest when they were combined with structural interventions that protect human rights and tackle poverty, poor living and working conditions, pollution, etc. HIV and tuberculosis programmes should be integrated and must advocate together for the political commitment needed to advance UHC, including sustainable health financing, health systems governance, essential medicines and health products, and service delivery and quality. While domestic and innovative financing are important, international financing is still needed. The meeting concluded that the high-level meeting on tuberculosis presented an opportunity to invigorate efforts to end tuberculosis by 2030 and should be linked to the other high-level meetings on non-communicable diseases and UHC. A letter from the PCB Chair capturing the key messages from the thematic segment was submitted to the co-facilitators of the high-level meeting on tuberculosis.
