The Himalayan Breath of HOPE project has started TB preventive treatment activities in Morang, in collaboration with NATA Morang.

Through household contact tracing and screening, the project is helping identify family members who may have TB infection without symptoms and connect those who are eligible with 3HP TB preventive treatment.

By preventing latent TB infection from developing into TB disease, the project is working to protect families and communities and move closer to ending TB. 💙
