Implementer: Health and Social Protection Program
To strengthen community awareness and technical knowledge of TB, and to build a network of informed champions working to end TB, SCDI implemented an online training course as part of the SMART4TB project, coordinated by APCASO. The course provided in-depth content on vaccines, new diagnostics and treatments, medical research, and highlighted the role of communities in TB response. Participants, including SCDI staff, CSET members, and local healthcare workers, completed pre-tests and modular lessons with assessments to ensure learning quality.
2024 Key Results
In 2024, 22 individuals joined the training, culminating in a review session for knowledge exchange. The program’s impact went beyond technical updates—it fostered a learning space that connected community groups and healthcare providers. The participants of the course became key leaders in spreading knowledge, helping to raise awareness and reduce TB stigma in pursuit of Vietnam’s goal to end TB by 2035
