It empowers people with the disease and their communities through this knowledge. Initiated and developed by patients from around the world, the Charter makes the relationship with health care providers a mutually beneficial one. The Charter is affiliated with the International Standards for Tuberculosis Care, developed by the Tuberculosis Coalition for Technical Assistance.
