The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Programme on Tuberculosis & Lung Health is collecting case studies and best practices to provide concrete examples of different modalities of integrated approaches to tuberculosis (TB) and lung health across health system levels and contexts.
The intersections between TB and other lung conditions are increasingly shaped by shared risk factors, common clinical manifestations, double burden of disease, and interacting disease pathways. Respiratory exposures such as tobacco use, indoor and ambient air pollution, and occupational hazards contribute to both TB and chronic respiratory conditions. The resulting double burden of disease places growing strain on health systems and exacerbates disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management. These evolving patterns call for integrated responses that address the full spectrum of lung health needs.
In line with the strategic directions outlined in the 2025 WHO policy brief on integrated approach to tuberculosis and lung health and the 2025 World Health Assembly resolution on integrated lung health, WHO is launching this call to collect country experiences and implementation examples that can inform forthcoming operational guidance. The objective is to identify scalable approaches, common challenges, and enabling factors that can support countries in advancing person-centred, integrated care.
