| 1) We are a local NGO working with local government, national TB program, local and international academic and research institutes and civil society to implement epidemiology, biological, operational and action research to reduce the burden of TB, HIV and other diseases of poverty. 2) Our Foundtaion was initiated by a group of Thai and Japanese Ph.D. students who conducted their doctoral thesis on TB, HIV and TB/HIV in 1992. After the group completed their respective degrees, they realized the importance of continuing the research and gaining further knowledge for effective TB and HIV control and care. Therefore they registered a foundation called TB/HIV Research Foundation (THRF) 3) We are collaborating with the national and international researchers to implement TB genetic resaerch, research to improve diagnosis for TB infection and TB disease. We are implementing action research by involving women organizations and vulnerable populations to improve TB care and prevention. We are planing to implement research to reduce the risk of TB such as diabetes, smoking, alcohol consumption. |
