The article “Making Social Protection a Reality for People with TB: A Perspective on New Global Guidance,” published in the International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, examines the critical role of social protection in addressing the social and economic impacts of tuberculosis (TB). It discusses the new guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), which provides a framework for implementing social protection programs to support those affected by TB, emphasising the need for multi-sectoral approaches to improve health outcomes and prevent financial hardship.
