Healthcare providers can help patients with TB by referring them to CureTB if they are traveling or relocating out of the United States. When a referral is received, CureTB staff will interview patients to confirm contact information, then refer them to the local health jurisdiction at their international destination. This process ensures continuity of care for patients with TB. Join us in celebrating Binational Health Month to help reduce the burden of TB globally. https://bit.ly/4eVimMj
