Our projects
2012
TB advocacy in Germany
We organized events in Germany to increase overall awareness about TB. These events included presentations, current efforts for TB prevention and control, and avenues for collaboration in Viet Nam.
2012
Early engagement in Viet Nam
Through the support of friends and family, we initiated a pilot project to increase case detection and reduce loss to follow-up in 3 districts of Go Vap, Ho Chi Minh City.
2014
PROPER CARE
In 2014, funding from the Global Health and Education Trust enabled us to expand TB activities from 3 to 8 wards in Go Vap, Ho Chi Minh City. In 2015, additional private sector funding expanded our community-based activities to cover all of Go Vap district. The Global Public Health Group at Janssen then generously funded PROPER CARE continuation activities.
2017
PROPER CARE Expansion
We expanded PROPER CARE from one to three districts and supported the Viet Nam National TB Programme to optimize PROPER CARE through community networks.
2017
