Tuberculosis (TB) is the 13th leading cause of death and the second leading infectious disease killer after COVID-19 worldwide in 2021. Tanzania is among the 30 high-burden countries for TB and TB/HIV coinfection. USAID’s TB focus in Tanzania aligns with the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Program (NTLP) strategy VI 2021 - 2025 and Global Strategy towards Ending TB by 2030. The focus is to reach people and communities with TB services through different service delivery models for early identification and diagnosis of TB patients.
