Project Name: Re-Imagining TB Care (RTC) Proposal Due By: 20 November 2024, 5.30 PM
Organization Background: Please visit tbhelp.org.
Background

The Patient Support Foundation to End TB (PASTB) was established as a partnership between the National Lung Hospital and the Ministry of Home Affairs to provide essential support to economically vulnerable people with TB (PWTB). This includes facilitating access to Social Health Insurance (SHI) and offering cash grants to the poorest PWTB starting TB treatment. Friends for International Tuberculosis Relief (FIT), an international non-governmental organization, has received funding to continue PASTB’s mission of addressing critical health financing gaps and enhancing social protection for people with TB.

This initiative is supported by the Re-imagining TB Care (RTC) Initiative, a global effort powered by the Stop TB Partnership and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). The RTC initiative aims to find new and innovative strategies to improve TB care and service delivery.

Objectives

We are looking for a communications company to collaboratively work with FIT and PASTB based at Vietnam’s National Lung Hospital to implement a communications campaign. There are three objectives of the campaign:

  1. Destigmatize and increase public awareness about TB and its financial burden
  2. Strengthen the messaging of PASTB
  3. Fundraise for the charity to ensure the sustainability of financial support for PWTB.
