At TB Proof, we believe in a world where no one has to suffer from Tuberculosis. To achieve this, we combine the power of stories and science—amplifying the voices of those affected while advocating for evidence-based TB prevention and care.
As this phase comes to an end, we want to thank our Champions for their dedication — bringing TB education and testing into communities and working with facilities to strengthen person-centred care.
The impact continues, and we look forward to working together again. #EndTB
