Mission

We save lives and restore health

We partner locally and create a lasting impact

  • We deliver care from the hands of local people.

  • We work in partnership with national institutions and local communities to provide life-saving treatment for TB, HIV, & drug-resistant TB.

We use science to save lives

  • We save lives by pioneering new treatments and by improving global standards of care for HIV & TB.

  • We lead the way in community-based TB and drug-resistant TB treatment.

  • We uncover how the immune system fights TB and TB/HIV to save lives today and to find tomorrow’s cures.

Your support today will save lives

‘He who saves a single life is as though he saved the entire world’

Urgent Appeal

The USAID funding for treatment of Drug Resistant-TB in Cambodia provided by Cambodian Health Committee was abruptly stopped on Jan 25, 2025.

239 patients were mid-treatment.

Without health workers to monitor their treatment, these patients face poor outcomes including death—and risk spreading drug-resistant TB in their communities.

We are trying to fill the emergency to keep care going, save lives, and prevent new infections while we work to secure long-term funding.

We would be very grateful if you could consider a donation to this life-saving effort.
