TB stigma is a silent killer, preventing patients from getting the support they need and allowing the disease to persist. Our SAST program is dedicated to breaking down these social barriers. We believe that an informed and compassionate community is our strongest ally.

Our Advocacy in Action:

• Community Engagement:We work with the public, families, and local leaders to build understanding and empathy.
• Policy Influence: From Grassroots to Governance : We believe real, lasting change starts with policy. Our advocacy work bridges the gap between the on-the-ground reality of TB patients and the highest levels of governance. We share patients' direct experiences with policymakers and health officials, ensuring their voices are heard where it matters most. By actively collaborating with national organizations and individuals dedicated to TB elimination, we help shape systemic change and strengthen India's public health response.
• Awareness Campaigns:We use media, community events, and survivor stories to raise awareness and bring all stakeholders together.
• Survivor-Led Advocacy:Our trained TB survivors are on the front lines, leading awareness campaigns and providing hope in their own communities.
