The Stop TB Partnership Indonesia's web site will serve as a comprehensive public information tool for tuberculosis in Indonesia. The web site was launched in coordination with the first-ever Indonesian National TB Congress, that took place in Jakarta, Indonesia, 18-19 November 2005.

The first ever National TB Congress was held on 18-19 November in Jakarta, with participation of over 1000 health professionals, politicians, healthcare providers, NGO activists, and TB staff from throughout the country. The Congress was opened with a strong statement of continued political commitment from both the Minister of Health as well as the coordinating Minister of Welfare. The National TB Partnership movement 'Gerdunas' reviewed its organization and membership, and carved out new mechanisms for best supporting the 5-year national TB plan 2006-2010. Throughout the day, participants discussed progress and identified opportunities to improve clinical aspects of TB, public health, and community involvement.
The International Standards of TB Care were widely discussed and accepted and are promising broad support for TB control in Indonesia. In short, the Congress comprised days of networking and consensus building on the way forward.
