Inadequate tools to diagnose, treat and prevent TB are major drivers of the global epidemic.
Burnet’s Health Security Program works to increase the capacities of health systems across the Asia-Pacific region.
Major components of this Program are aimed at improving responses to drug-resistant tuberculosis, strengthening policies and practices to prevent and control antimicrobial resistance, and applying One Health approaches to improve health for humans, animals and the environment.
Through this program Burnet is committing to making a major contribution:
