As COVID-19 remains in our lives, SATB has been working with partners to create awareness and support communities around this issue. Building on our experience of working with communities TB, SATB has been working to develop multilingual materials on TB and COVID-19 awareness. The aim of these materials and campaigns is to sensitise people, curb misinformation and also engage in conversations about how infectious diseases in general can be tackled better from a patient perspective in health policy and programs.

​

We have been engaging specifically on concerns by TB affected  communities. We have also extended our support to the  national and state governments in specific high-burden states across the country to share our resources with them, as well as help them with communication efforts.

​

Some of our current focus areas include include:

• Understanding COVID-19 and its impact on TB

• The Impact of TB and COVID-19 on Mental Health 

• COVID-19 and its impact on Women, other vulnerable groups

This work has been communications based and involves working with partners and communities.
