Welcome to the website of STOP TB Tanzania chapter. This website provides platform where TB partners will show case their work, use social media to reach more people on TB information, engage public in assessing individual risk on TB and link them to testing and treatment facility. This way the partnership will contribute to increased testing and referrals to treatment centers.  This platform will also bring all key partners in TB to discuss, plan, share experiences and good practices with aim to best reach TB vulnerable population with testing and treatment services.

The struggles for End TB is a battle for everyone, it is even so now where co-infection of TB and COVID can be even deadly and so the impact is far worse than expected. It is therefore imperative that all key partners come together to plan, assess comparative advantage of each partners to build national movement that will ensure that all those at risk of TB are tested and those infected are put on treatment. The deadly divide report challenges us on country TB targets against realities and calls for concerted efforts to Reach all people through TB prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, Invest the funds necessary to end TB, Leverage Covid-19 as a strategic opportunity to end TB  and commit to accountability, multisectorality, and leadership on TB among key priority.

Welcome so that we can make End TB in Tanzania a reality.
