KNCV Nigeria is a National Non-Governmental Organization dedicated to the fight against Tuberculosis and other diseases of public health concern in Nigeria.
OUR VISION
A globally recognized center of excellence for the prevention and control of Tuberculosis and other diseases of public health concern in Nigeria.
OUR MISSION
To promote and support the prevention and control of TB and other diseases of public health concern in Nigeria through the implementation of innovative and evidence informed disease control strategies.
Of the $373 million needed for TB control in Nigeria in the year 2020, only 31% was available to all the
implementers of TB control activities in Nigeria (7% domestic and 24% donor funds), with a 69% funding gap. The 7% domestic contribution is mainly for personnel.
Low case detection and lack of adequate knowledge about TB due to low awareness creation are two of the major challenges facing TB response in Nigeria.
Tuberculosis (TB) screenings are now conducted with portable Digital X-rays (PDX), and TB testing with TB LAMP, Truenat, and Genexpert platforms accross different LGAs in Nigeria
We are KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation Nigeria. A local non-profit organization dedicated to the fight against tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the deadliest infectious disease in Nigeria.
