Treatment Action Campaign

"TB is the number one killer of people living with HIV in South Africa. The TAC is committed to intensifying our work on TB in the coming years and to build alliances with other progressive organisations around the world working on TB. The TB epidemic requires a global activist movement such as that which we’ve had for HIV. Such a movement will be essential to changing the politics around TB and ensuring sufficient investment in R&D of much-needed new medicines.
The TAC’s local TB work currently has two focus areas: Decentralisation of DR-TB care and TB in prisons"

TAC’s work is to monitor the availability of services and to advocate for better and more effective service provision and better public awareness campaigns about these important interventions. Our struggle continues.
