• CURE: Support timely treatment initiation, adherence, and completion, especially among DR-TB cases.

• PREVENT: Reduce the risk of transmission through expansion of access to TB preventive treatment (TPT), infection control, and stigma reduction.

• INNOVATE: Incorporate and scale up new tools and approaches such as digital chest X-rays with computer-aided diagnostics, hotspot mapping, and molecular diagnostics.
