Global TB Drug Facility
To help combat TB infection in the developing world, RPM Plus collaborates with the Stop TB Initiative's Global Drug Facility (GDF). The GDF provides effective, high-quality anti-TB drugs to countries in need, and RPM Plus works with the GDF to help ensure that these drugs are properly stored, effectively distributed, and correctly used.
RPM Plus also joins GDF teams that assess the drug management capacity of countries requesting TB drugs. These surveys help determine if a country needs technical assistance to effectively manage a donation of TB drugs. RPM Plus has participated in GDF country surveys in Kenya, Moldova, and Tajikistan and is currently involved in determining whether requesting countries are following international TB standards, a prerequisite for receipt of drugs through the GDF.
