Wolfheze workshops
The Wolfheze Workshops aimed to strengthen tuberculosis control in the WHO European Region, with emphasis on sharing experiences and discussing progress and plans for the development of Region-specific guidance documents based on a consensus-building approach. The tradition of the Wolfheze movement dates back to 1990 when the first regional meeting on TB control was organized in the village of Wolfheze in The Netherlands.
