National Tuberculosis Coalition of America

The National TB Coalition (NTCA) is a public health organization working to protect the public’s health and advance the elimination of tuberculosis in the United States. It supports collaboration among state, local, and territorial TB programs, along with clinicians, nurses, epidemiologists, survivors, and other partners. NTCA brings these communities together through professional sections, leadership and committee activities, membership services, conferences, webinars, and regular forums for sharing expertise.

The organization provides practical resources for people involved in TB prevention and care. Its materials cover guidelines, laws and policies, online courses, communication and patient education, epidemiology and surveillance, diagnosis and treatment, infection control, disease investigation, and specialized settings such as schools, shelters, corrections, and healthcare facilities. Publications and tools include clinical guides, nurse case manager competencies, treatment-regimen resources, and interjurisdictional notification forms. NTCA also raises awareness, shares news, highlights TB drug availability challenges, and offers educational events on emerging clinical and public health topics. Through these services, it helps TB professionals strengthen prevention, treatment, education, and coordinated public health action.
