Our key activities

Discover RTC
2022

Commence People-Centered Design (PCD) processes with country end-users (TB survivors, TB affected people/communities, care providers), stakeholders (Ministries of Health, country programmes), and partners (local implementers) in Uganda and Viet Nam to identify which services can be more decentralized, integrated, and people-centered and select product innovations that will facilitate this shift

Launch Innovations Sourcing Portal and build a Referral Partners Network to source potential product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, including from TB affected countries, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services

Convene a series of Collaboration (Collab) workshops with country- and global-level end-users, stakeholders, and partners to discuss and identify tactical ideas on how to (1) catalyze more innovators, including from TB affected countries and that are women-led, to enter the TB and global health space, (2) develop product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services, and (3) accelerate the roll-out of these product innovations

Lay the groundwork to connect and link country-selected, rolled-out product innovations, particularly DHTs and/or adjacent solutions, that will facilitate decentralized, integrated, and people-centered services in Uganda and Viet Nam with their information/case-based management systems
