In 2023, the number of forcibly displaced people reached 117.3 million, presenting a major global issue. Refugees and migrants are particularly vulnerable to TB due to their living conditions. To tackle this, the Stop TB Partnership launched the Key and Vulnerable Populations Size Estimation Tool in 2023. This tool helps countries prioritize TB cases among these populations for targeted programming and resource allocation. Additionally, through the Challenge Facility for Civil Society Round 12, Stop TB Partnership supports over 10 countries to use this tool to develop a TB response focused on key and vulnerable populations, addressing human rights and gender barriers to TB care. #EndTB #WorldRefugeeDay #WithRefugee 🔗: https://lnkd.in/d-Z6WvA4
