Global Tuberculosis Programme

The Global Tuberculosis Programme is an initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO) aimed at reducing tuberculosis (TB) infections and deaths worldwide. TB is a serious infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs. The program focuses on improving prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of TB through coordinated efforts among countries. It provides guidelines, support, and resources to help countries strengthen their TB control strategies. By promoting research, enhancing healthcare systems, and raising public awareness, the program strives to eliminate TB as a public health threat and ensure access to care for all affected individuals.
