The Strategic Initiative support is provided to 13 countries (12 countries with matching catalytic funding and India) who together represent the largest gap in terms of missing TB cases for both drug susceptible TB (DS-TB) and drug resistant TB (DR-TB). Together, these countries account to 75% of all missing DS-TB and 55% of DR-TB.
