Global Tuberculosis Program

The Global Tuberculosis Program is an initiative aimed at combating tuberculosis (TB), a serious infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs. Managed by the World Health Organization (WHO), it provides strategies for countries to prevent, detect, and treat TB effectively. The program focuses on strengthening healthcare systems, ensuring access to medication, raising awareness, and promoting research to develop new tools. By coordinating global efforts, the program seeks to reduce TB incidence and mortality, ultimately working towards the goal of eliminating the disease as a public health threat.
