Global efforts to combat tuberculosis (TB) face increasing challenges, including funding constraints and the need for scalable training solutions. In response, The Union has launched two new free online courses to strengthen the skills of health professionals worldwide. Both courses are self-paced, fully online, and designed to support clinicians and programme managers in improving TB diagnosis and management.

- Certificates for each module and the full programme
Chest Radiograph Interpretation for TB Diagnosis
This course strengthens skills in interpreting chest X-rays for TB in adults, children, and people living with HIV. It also addresses post-TB sequelae and explores the role of digital radiography and artificial intelligence in diagnosis.
Course Highlights:

Both courses were developed with contributions from subject matter experts and supported by international partners. They aim to provide practical, evidence-based knowledge to professionals working in TB care and control, at a time when accessible training is more critical than ever.
