In 2012 WHO began the process of developing an updated multisectoral strategic approach and new, bold targets for the post-2015 period.
The End TB Strategy was approved by the World Health Assembly in 2014.

The End TB Strategy has three principal pillars and related components.

1. Integrated, patient-centred care and prevention
   1. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis including universal drug-susceptibility testing; and systematic screening of contacts and high-risk groups
   2. Treatment of all people with TB including drug-resistant tuberculosis; and patient support
   3. Collaborative TB /HIV activities; and management of comorbidities
   4. Preventive treatment of persons at high risk; and vaccination against tuberculosis

2. Bold policies and supportive systems
   1. Political commitment with adequate resources for tuberculosis care and prevention
   2. Engagement of communities, civil society organizations, and public and private care providers
   3. Universal health coverage policy, and regulatory frameworks for case notification, vital registration, quality and rational use of medicines, and infection control
   4. Social protection, poverty alleviation and actions on other determinants of tuberculosis
3. Intensified research and innovation
   1. Discovery, development and rapid uptake of new tools, interventions and strategies
   2. Research to optimize implementation and impact, and promote innovations
