In Tanzania, USAID programs are integrating TB and HIV care and treatment. TB is the leading cause of death of people with HIV/AIDS and detecting cases of co-infection is crucial to ensuring that patients receive proper treatment.

Why Our Work Matters…

Globally, failure to complete TB treatment and mismanagement of medicines lead to 1.4 million deaths every year.
