Tuberculosis South Africa Project (TBSAP)

Overview

The Tuberculosis South Africa Project (TBSAP) provides technical assistance to the Government of South Africa to reduce the burden of tuberculosis and multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis in the country.

TBSAP builds upon interventions and achievements from URC’s USAID TB CARE II South Africa and the prior TB South Africa Project.

TB CARE II activities are supporting the South Africa National Department of Health’s TB prevention and control efforts, working closely with national and provincial partners to close identified gap areas and further develop sustainable systems that can carry forward long-term improvements in TB and drug-resistant TB diagnosis, care, and treatment services.

Objectives
