This past quarter has been busy in the world of TB. Revised diagnostic algorithms were presented to provinces in August along with a toolkit for strengthening social and behavioural change communication.

If one of the reasons to have a Think Tank is for TB research and program experts to share ground breaking changes, then the meeting held in Kempton Park certainly did not disappoint.

World TB Day is a time to reflect on outstanding challenges and build on successes in the fight against TB.

The purpose of the TB Think Tank (TBTT) is to build a bridge between the incredible TB research community that we have in South Africa and the Department of Health.
