About Us
"The most destructive pathogen on the planet," tuberculosis is described by the US Agency for International Development as one of the world's leading infectious disease killers.
Despite being vaccine-preventable, treatable, and curable, TB continues to kill more people each year than HIV and malaria combined, says USAID.
Recently, the UN health innovation initiative Unitaidwarned that failing to implement TB contact tracing and prevention could lead to close to one million deaths by 2035.
A joint study by Unitaid, John Hopkins University, and the Aurum Institute found that implementing an innovative TB strategy could save 850,000 lives by 2035, most of which could be children.
While many evidence-based and scientific interventions have been developed to combat TB, outbreaks continue in the US.
The CDC reported TB cases increased by 5% last year, particularly among young children.
During 2022, about 8,300 cases were identified in the US, as of July 31, 2023, seven poultry workers in Alabama were confirmed or suspected of TB disease.
The Alabama Department of Public Health's that these individuals may have been or currently be at risk for contracting TB.
TB cases increased by about 10% in Houston last year.
