New Diagnostics: We do provide information to those that may need it and refer those clients who have the symptoms of TB so that they should be screened at any health facility for them to know if they have got any infections of TB. Research: As an organization that implement some programs we work in partnership with other research institutions to get some data and new statistics that will help some organizations as they want to venture into TB programming. |
