Reaching communities at risk of tuberculosis (TB) takes more than just the right medicines – it requires trust, proximity, and human connection.
For many – including children, pregnant women, people living with HIV, and communities facing stigma or geographic isolation – accessing TB prevention remains a significant challenge. Misconceptions about the disease and limited resources continue to keep life-saving prevention out of reach.
Community health workers are helping change that.
By bringing information about TB prevention directly to people’s homes, they are making TB care more inclusive and accessible – reaching those too often left behind. Their work is crucial, but it comes with real challenges: long distances, limited resources, persistent stigma and misinformation are part of their daily reality.
