TB Alert’s work in the UK focuses on making sure people with TB are diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible, and supporting them through treatment, to ensure that they don’t become seriously ill or pass TB on to others.
We believe that the best way to reach the people most at risk of TB — often people in vulnerable communities who may not find it easy to access healthcare — is from within their own communities. That’s why our flagship programme here in the UK, The Truth About TB, brings statutory bodies together with voluntary organisations to raise awareness of TB. Local voluntary agencies are embedded in and trusted by communities vulnerable to TB so, by working together, these partnerships are better able to raise awareness and support patients to get the care they need.
