Treating COVID-19 and TB Safely

pin Lesotho

Patients in Lesotho face some of the highest tuberculosis (TB) rates in the world, making COVID-19 care an even bigger challenge.

With partners’ support, PIH created an isolation and treatment center for TB patients hospitalized with COVID-19 to provide the care they need while keeping other patients and hospital staff safe from both diseases.
