E-DRUG: Pharmaceutical System Strengthening Approaches to "Reach the 3 Million"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
This week, the USAID-funded Systems for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS) Program joins the world in commemorating World Tuberculosis (TB) Day. This year's theme, "Reach the 3 million," is a call worldwide to find, treat and cure the undetected TB cases left behind in the fight against TB. SIAPS has released new materials on our website in honor of World TB Day, including our first video.
To learn more about SIAPS's work in Tanzania to identify some of the 3 million people with undetected and untreated TB, please watch our video, At the duka:
