Stop TB Partnership- TB Info Media Pack

A variety of advocacy materials that were released by the Stop TB Partnership ahead of the United Nations High-Level General Assembly Meeting. The materials include TB FAQs, fact sheets, Key Asks from TB stakeholders and communities, a list per country of people who do not receive TB care and treatment, country-specific TB data tiles, important organizations and partners, and Voices from the TB survivors (video and quotes).

We urge you to disseminate the TB INFO Media Pack to your media contacts.

Nursing Guide for Managing Side Effects to Drug-resistant TB Treatment

The guide, based on nursing and drug-resistant TB literature, establishes best practice nursing assessment and intervention guidance. The content was created to act as a reference and job aid for nurses to:
1.Identify symptoms that may indicate a side effect related to DR-TB treatment or antiretroviral medication;
2.Assess for severity as well as other potential contributors; and
3.Intervene appropriately in order to minimize patient discomfort, reduce side effect progression, and ultimately support successful treatment completion.

World TB Day 2019 Campaign Site

The World Health Organization (WHO), in partnership with the Global Fund and Stop TB Partnership, has launched the initiative “Find. Treat. All. #EndTB." The campaign site includes more information about the initiative, social media tiles, and other TB-related links.

TB and Diabetes webpage

Someone with untreated latent TB infection and diabetes is more likely to develop TB disease than someone without diabetes. Without proper treatment, diabetes and TB can increase health complications. This webpage features information on the relationship between TB and diabetes, TB treatment for individuals with diabetes, and related links for patients and health care providers.
