Tuberculosis (TB) is the world's most deadly infectious disease, claiming 1.6 million lives each year in lower-income countries throughout our region and the world. Given Results’ overarching mission to end global poverty, and our experience and reputation for impactful global health advocacy, TB is a natural focal point for our campaigning activities.  
 

TB is devastating for poor and marginalised communities. It is an airborne disease caused by bacteria that primarily affects the lungs and has plagued humanity for millennia. Over the past two centuries, TB has killed more than one billion people. Remarkably, we can end TB within a decade. To do this, we must support vulnerable countries to diagnose and treat the disease effectively.
