Stop TB Partner Information

Organization Type: NGO - International Health
Organization Description: Provides the tools and support necessary to encourage african medical professionals to serve those who are not able to pay for care. It is our philosophy that the only way meaningful advances can be made is by providing assistance to local doctors, nurses and other health professionals, not fly by night operations that stay for a week or a month and leave the poor and vulnerable of Africa, without access to the most basic health care.
