FCDO - Leaving no-one behind: transforming Gendered pathways to Health for TB
Project disclaimer
Description
The LIGHT Consortium: (Leaving no-one behInd: transforming Gendered pathways to Health for TB) is a UK Aid-funded programme that will deliver transformative, cross-disciplinary research across a consortium of partners based in Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Uganda and the UK to reduce the number of people affected by tuberculosis (TB) in sub- Saharan Africa being left behind. This will enable rapid deployment of new tools for TB control (vaccines, new drugs and shorter drug regimens, diagnostics) that are expected to come online in 2025.
Objectives
LIGHT exists to provide decision-makers with new evidence about how male access to quality TB healthcare can be improved by gender-sensitive approaches to improve health outcomes and reduce transmission to other vulnerable populations in the community including women and children. This work will ensure that investments made in new and innovative diagnostics, treatments and vaccines to detect, treat and prevent TB will reach those who need them in a timely and more effective way.
