Their global advocacy and technical support have been instrumental in aligning our local initiatives with international TB goals.

We value their commitment to evidence-based interventions that help us strengthen health systems and expand access to care.

Their innovative screening technology and diagnostics have enhanced our ability to detect and respond to TB at the community level.

Their dedication to research and development brings new hope to patients through improved treatments and access to cutting-edge solutions.

Stigma remains one of the most significant barriers to timely diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from tuberculosis.

At TB People, we work to promote accurate, accessible information and challenge harmful narratives—because understanding TB is essential to ending it.
