The lack of general awareness about TB, delayed diagnosis, stigma and discrimination and out-of-pocket expenses remain challenges at the community level. To achieve the ambitious UNHLM targets as well as those outlined in the National Strategic Plan, a multi-pronged approach addressing the social dimensions of TB is essential, as is the active involvement of affected communities in the TB response. TB survivors can play a critical role in supporting people with TB and in bridging the gap between the servce provider and the service user.
