The Social Science & Health Innovations for Tuberculosis (SSHIFTB) Centre is a global community of practice focused on social science research and innovation to address the global TB epidemic. The mission of the Centre is to connect social science TB scholars, advocates, and learners from a range of disciplines, institutions, and settings, and inspire new thinking around practices and interventions to address the social and sociomedical aspects of TB. The hope is that this virtual centre will increase coordination and collaboration as well as reduce duplication of efforts. By leveraging the virtual space, we hope to include ideas, research and innovation from all around the world.
