To eradicate tuberculosis in the Philippines and beyond through a proven, community-based protocol.
Why This Matters
The Philippines ranks among the highest globally for TB cases. An innovative, already proven
“one-stop-shop” protocol could dramatically reduce deaths and end the disease altogether in
the country.
Our Approach
The Bridge Institute supports this scalable model, which integrates community-wide TB screening, diagnosis, treatment, and emotional and financial support - addressing every barrier to care in one coordinated intervention.
The Outcomes Will Include
- To enable one significant community in the Philippines to be “TB Free”, saving lives in
this community. - To document and publicise the path for the Philippines and other nations to become TB Free.
- To leave behind expanded capacity for sustaining and scaling this kind of intervention in the region.
