Welcome to Target TB

Our vision is a world free from TB and our mission is to address the health, social and economic impact of the global TB epidemic amongst vulnerable and marginalised groups. We currently work with local partners in 7 countries across Africa and Asia with some of the highest TB burdens in the world.

TB - a global emergency

Despite being considered a disease of the past, tuberculosis, alongside malaria and HIV/AIDS, is one of the world's biggest killers, with 9 million new cases emerging every year.

In 2003 the World Health Organization declared TB ‘a global emergency’. In the same year Target TB was set up as a direct response.
