TB Alert

22 Tiverton Road
London
NW10 3HL

Web: www.tbalert.org

TB Alert exists to work towards the control and ultimate eradication of TB by increasing access to effective treatment for all.

They advocate for greater global spending for TB work by working closely with UK parliament and government, international agencies, pharmaceutical companies, etc.

They raise awareness (amongst the general public, non-specialist health professionals, and at-risk groups) of TB as a global threat and as a disease resurgent in Britain. They aim to ensure that cases of TB are diagnosed as early as possible and prevent further spread of the disease.

They produce and support public, health professional, and patient education resources, helping to ensure that patients continue their treatment to completion and avoid the risk of drug resistance.

Visit their website for further information.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
