🖥️ Online Learning to Strengthen TB Care
To deliver high-quality, up-to-date care, our teams need continuous learning. We’ve introduced regular online learning sessions to keep DR-TB care providers, pharmacists, and data teams informed, skilled, and empowered.
💡 Why It Matters:
TB care is rapidly evolving—with new diagnostics, updated treatment regimens, and digital health tools. Without continuous training, even experienced staff can fall behind. Our virtual learning sessions close that gap by making knowledge accessible, timely, and practical.
