No One Left Behind in the Fight Against TB

Through the Urban TB LON II project, supported by the U.S. Government, REACH Ethiopia is on a mission to break the cycle of transmission. We believe that finding every case is the only way to save lives.

We don’t just wait for patients; we go to them. In collaboration with healthcare workers, our team conducts active TB case finding in “hotspot” areas, bridging the gap between high-risk communities & the essential treatment they deserve.

Our Impact in Action:

  • 📍 Coverage: 8 zones across Oromia, Sidama, Central, and South Ethiopia.
  • 🏠 Method: House-to-house, Facility level & community-wide screenings.
  • 🔬 Technology: Digital X-ray and on-site sample collection for GeneXpert testing.

For us, this is more than a routine activity—it is a commitment to health equity & human dignity. Every case identified is a father, mother, or child given a second chance. We are working toward a future free from TB. Together, Yes, we can #EndTB

REACH Ethiopia grew out of a TB project that started in 2010. This project introduced an innovative community package that engaged health extension workers (HEWs) to increase TB case detection and treatment adherence.
