KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation is one of the principal international non-profit organizations that is exclusively dedicated to and focused on fighting tuberculosis (TB) worldwide and to strengthening health systems against TB, globally and locally.
KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation is an international center of expertise for TB control. We are an organization of passionate TB professionals; this includes doctors, researchers, training experts, nurses and epidemiologists. The head office is in The Hague, the Netherlands. We currently have two regional offices, in Central Asia and East Africa, and nine country offices in Botswana, The Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Vietnam; we are presently opening offices in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
We aim to stop the spread of the worldwide epidemic of the second ‘killer’ infectious disease and to prevent the further spread of drug-resistant TB. Over the past century we have built up a wealth of knowledge and expertise, initially by pushing back TB successfully in the Netherlands. Since the 1970s we share our knowledge and expertise with the rest of the world.
We aim to capitalize on the population’s own strengths, capacities and sense of responsibility and therefore we focus our efforts on enabling and improving the capacity of national TB programs and local partners to deal with the TB epidemic.
