Our Objectives
KNCV - Tanzania works to eradicate tuberculosis and address other public health challenges by ensuring equal rights to access to affordable and quality health services. We collaborate closely with the Government of Tanzania, particularly the Ministry of Health, through the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Program (NTLP) and the President's Office, Regional Administration and Local Government. Through our initiatives, we aim to empower communities, raise awareness, and advocate for equitable access to health rights, especially for those in marginalized areas.
What we aim to achieve
Our primary objectives include empowering communities and institutions to sustainably tackle the underlying causes of Tuberculosis and other health conditions. We focus on raising awareness for the prevention and control of Tuberculosis through the dissemination of written and oral information. We advocate for equitable access to health rights for people affected by Tuberculosis and other diseases in marginalized communities, promoting their capacity for self-agency in health-related decision-making.
Additionally, we work to improve the legal and policy environment to enable affected populations to access quality health services. KNCV - Tanzania also promotes collaboration between institutions and individuals, both within Tanzania and globally, who are working towards the management of Tuberculosis and other health conditions. Through these objectives, we strive to create lasting positive impact on public health in Tanzania and contribute to ending TB and other emerging public health threats.
