Who are we?

KNCV has been fighting TB since its establishment in 1903 as a collaborative effort by several private local TB elimination initiatives in the Netherlands. Over the past 120+ years, the organization has acquired indispensable knowledge and experience in the field of effective TB prevention and care, resulting in pre-elimination in the Netherlands and has made significant contributions to global evidence generation, policy development, and TB program implementation worldwide. 

KNCV has partnered with various National TB Programs, implementing partners, a wide range of government agencies, civil society organizations/affected communities, academia, technical organizations, and foundations to deliver lasting results in over 40 countries. Partners value KNCV for its technical expertise and decades of experience across all areas of TB Prevention & Care.

As an international knowledge center, KNCV promotes effective, efficient, innovative, and situation-specific strategies and solutions to eliminate TB and related health challenges in both national and international contexts. 

KNCV does TB surveillance and surveillance systems, epidemiological modeling, mobile and digital health solutions, health systems strengthening (including human resources for health, CME, e-learning, and blended learning programs), decentralized financing of integrated TB programming, and increasing access for vulnerable groups, including programming to address discrimination and stigma. In addition, KNCV has extensive in-house project management experience.
