The overarching aim of TB Sequel capacity development activities is to create new African Research Centers of Excellence and strengthen the existing ones which are able to conduct cutting-edge research within a broad spectrum of TB-related research topics, and to provide knowledge on specialized pulmonary assessment and long-term care for TB patients.
Our capacity development activities are not limited to staff employed by the 4 research institutions but will also include medical staff employed either with the collaborating hospitals or the National TB Programs. As a consequence, the medical infrastructure shall be strengthened and the general medical care of TB patients in the respective areas shall be improved.
