TB programs
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) announced $57 million will be dedicated to urgently needed tuberculosis (TB) recovery efforts in seven high burden countries: Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Africa, Tajikistan, and Ukraine. Alongside COVID-19, TB is the leading infectious disease killer, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, sickening ten million people and taking 1.4 million lives every year. To address the COVID-19 pandemic’s devastating impact on TB services, this assistance will strengthen simultaneous testing for both TB and COVID-19, improve TB diagnosis services, and identify TB cases through contact investigations and community screenings. This commitment represents approximately 19 percent of USAID’s annual TB funding.
