WHO Platform for Community-Based TB Activities Newsletter, March 2020

In July 2019, WHO Global TB Programme launched a call for expression of interest to submit case studies on best practices and lessons learned in implementing community-based TB activities. We received over 25 proposals, out of which 8 were selected for further development into case studies for publication.

Each case study outlines the epidemiological context and key barriers in finding the missing people with TB in the local context. They describe in detail the solutions that have been put in place to overcome these barriers and their key outcomes, with a focus on lessons learned and best practices that were instrumental to the success of the interventions.

We are now pleased to share with you two new case studies, which describe local solutions adopted for the delivery of community based TB services in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Pakistan.
