About us
USAID’s Health Systems for Tuberculosis (HS4TB) project supports high TB burden countries with financing and governance strategies, tools, and approaches to achieve TB elimination goals. The project is currently working in Bangladesh and India (and previously in Ethiopia and Kenya), where it supports policy reforms for increased and improved domestic contracting of TB services, greater domestic financing, and more efficient use of resources, while building in-country financial and managerial skills and leadership. HS4TB is also engaged in two global activities to strengthen sustainable financing for TB. Together, these interventions contribute to global efforts to meet the ambitious TB targets outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 3. HS4TB is led by Management Sciences for Health (MSH).
