KNCV Implemented Projects

Implementation Science and Innovation

KNCV bridges research and practice by translating evidence into policy. We supported the adoption of shorter TB treatment regimens, digital adherence technologies, and innovative diagnostics such as rapid molecular diagnostic platforms, genome sequencing, and digital/AI-aided chest X-rays through strategic partnerships with national programs and regulatory bodies.

KNCV contributes to the global TB knowledge base by generating and disseminating evidence, publishing an average of 50 peer-reviewed papers annually.
