Organization Description:
Founded in 1928, Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB) is the oldest and largest U.S.-based
Catholic organization focused exclusively on international healthcare. Its mission is to work collaboratively to provide quality healthcare programs, without discrimination, to people in need globally. CMMB has been involved extensively in building sustainable health programs, placing medical volunteers and delivering essential medicines, without regard to religion, in more than 75 countries. CMMB works with a wide range of secular and faith-based organizations, which reach some of the most remote areas in the developing world. An independent non-profit organization with more than 150 staff globally, CMMB implements this work through its country and regional offices in South Africa, Southern Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Haiti, Honduras, India and Peru.

CMMB can facilitate meeting the “know-do” gap, by engaging multiple stakeholders in scaling up interventions related to bettering TB outcomes in the hardest hit contexts. With health and community networks globally, including South Asia and Africa, CMMB has the leadership and technical capacity to be a strong Stop TB partner. CMMB has a record of serving and building the capacity of regional networks of MoH and FBO institutions to provide high-quality services in the field of tuberculosis. For example, CMMB worked in TB care beginning in the 1990’s in Zambia’s Monze District with the Ministry of Health. CMMB set up 7 diagnosing centers, 14 rural health centers, and treated 6000 people over a 4-year District-wide program. At the time (1996-99), Zambia had an estimated 32,600 cases throughout the country. CMMB provided training, lab technical support and supplies, and medications. The program was considered a viable ‘model’ and has since been scaled up nation-wide. In the area of chronic care services and HIV/TB linkages, CMMB has worked since 2004 as a major partner in the AIDSRelief Program. The CRS-led project, works primarily through a network of faith-based institut
