Concerned about TB?
Tuberculosis (TB) can feel daunting—not only because of its health impact but also due to the stigma that often surrounds it. Misunderstanding and lack of awareness can make it harder for people to seek help and feel supported.
We’re here to change that. By sharing accurate information and personal stories, we aim to challenge misconceptions and build a more understanding community.

Tuberculosis: prevention and care in pregnancy
EnglishTuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major health concern around the world, including in the UK.
Pregnant women face higher risks of developing TB than the general population because of changes in the immune system during pregnancy, mainly due to T-cell suppression and reduced interferon-gamma production. Whilst TB is slowly decreasing in the UK, certain groups (such as those from countries with high rates of TB) remain vulnerable and require better access to prevention measures.
This module has been developed to support midwives and their teams in the important role they play in preventing TB. The information is particularly relevant to anyone who is working in an area where there are above average rates of TB. This will usually be in an urban area but TB can occur anywhere with anyone.
