GSK and CARE are partnering to strengthen health systems and empower communities by reducing TB (tuberculosis) disease incidence in Nepal.
CARE and GSK are investing in solutions to enhance early TB detection. This is leading to more effective and timely treatment and sustained reduction of TB incidence and mortality. Activities include:
- Supporting frontline health workers to provide better care for people at risk of TB: including training health workers, improving referral pathways, and introducing modern screening tools.
- Engaging communities: increasing awareness, prevention, screening and early diagnosis of TB through working with mothers’ groups, youth networks, local volunteers
- Strengthening local government: supporting municipalities to develop practical, evidence-based plans that help them move towards 'TB Free Municipality' status - a national government initiative.
