KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation
KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation is an international non-profit organization
dedicated to the fight against tuberculosis (TB), still the second most
deadly infectious disease in the world.
KNCV is an international center of expertise for TB control that
promotes effective, efficient, innovative and sustainable tuberculosis
control strategies in a national and international context. We are an
organization of passionate TB professionals, including doctors,
researchers, training experts, nurses and epidemiologists. We aim to
stop the spread of the worldwide epidemic of TB and to prevent the
further spread of drug-resistant TB.
Over the past century we have built up a wealth of knowledge and
expertise, initially by successfully controlling TB in the Netherlands.
Since the 1970s, we have also shared our knowledge and expertise with
the rest of the world. We operate from a central office in The Hague in
the Netherlands, a regional office in Central Asia and country offices
worldwide. KNCV raises funds from private, institutional, corporate, and
government donors.
