Undernutrition and tuberculosis (TB) are closely linked. Undernutrition increases the risk of TB, while TB further worsens nutritional status, creating a viscous cycle that is difficult to break.
A new report launched by Results UK, along with Results Australia, Results Canada, and Results Educational Fund 'Fueling the Fight Against the Spread of Tuberculosis: Nutrition is the Missing Ingredient', highlights why nutrition must be part of every TB response and offers practical recommendations for scaling up action.
At BNMT Nepal, our research has shown that one in three TB-affected households experience food insecurity, and that the situation often worsens during illness. This is why we believe nutrition support should go hand in hand with TB treatment. Through our TB RECOVERY and NOURISH projects, we are generating evidence to help shape nutrition interventions for TB-affected households and advocate for their inclusion in Nepal's National TB Programme.

Malnutrition and TB fuel each other. Child malnutrition is one of the strongest risk factors for TB, while TB further worsens nutritional status. Nepal's recent report of 'alarming' child malnutrition threatens to reverse two decades of hard-won progress.

We are delighted to sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Health and Population-Nepal (Ministry of Health and Food Safety) for our 'Trauma Hub Project'.
This marks an important step towards strengthening trauma care services along major highways and key transport routes in Nawalparasi East and Rautahat districts. Together, we look forward to improving timely access to quality emergency and trauma care, helping save lives and support communities when they need it most.
We look forward to working together to make this initiative a success.

People undergoing treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) often spend months away from their families in treatment hostels. While these facilities provide essential medical care, they remain under-resourced, leaving patients without even basic personal and hygiene necessities. For many, this adds to the financial and emotional burden of an already difficult journey.
To help make their stay safer, more comfortable, and more dignified, BNMT Nepal distributed *Welcome Care Packages* to DR-TB patients staying at the DR Hostel, TB Nepal, Nepalgunj, and NATA, Kathmandu, under the TB Shield project, funded by University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The package included essential items such as washing and bathing soaps, detergent, toothbrush and toothpaste, sanitary pads, masks, hand sanitizers, hair oils, combs, clippers, towels, handkerchiefs, slippers, summer windcheater jackets, cloth bags, metal water bottles, cough boxes, glass cups, and a communication data cards to help patients stay connected with their families.
By helping address patients' everyday needs, we hope to ease some of the challenges they face and encourage continued adherence to treatment.
