Union Courses provide the knowledge and skills that health professionals and programme managers need to run public health programmes that are clinically sound and administratively effective.
TB and lung health courses cover clinical and programmatic aspects of TB, multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), TB comorbidities and child and adolescent TB. We provide health professionals working in resource-limited settings with the most recent scientific evidence, skills and competencies to enable them to deliver quality services and manage programmes.
