The USAID Tuberculosis Team has compiled a virtual collection of resources and practical tools
available for tuberculosis control programs with a community focus. This site was designed specifically for PVOs/NGOs doing
community-focused TB Programming.
This site offers articles, manuals, and technical resources that provide guidance for program planning, serves as a gateway to other useful websites, and directs you to information on a wide variety of technical and programmatic issues. These resources have been hand-selected by individuals experienced in managing and implementing tuberculosis programs in developing countries. Use this Tuberculosis Virtual Resource Center (TB VRC) to quickly find key resources without having to conduct extensive searches on multiple sites.
To start using the TB VRC you can click on "Topics" at the top menu bar to start browsing the categories of the TB VRC or click on
one of the categories on the menu bar above.
