It organizes annual conference of the volunteers and invites participants from Health NGOs, staffs of development agencies and Government health workers. It works closely with the government and international agencies and represents the professional and realistic views on TB and other related infectious diseases. Presently NATAB is implementing one large project sponsored by GFATM on TB Control and another project on Tobacco Control funded by Bloomberg Initiatives and also working as the Constituent members of IUATLD.
