Stigma has been a consistent challenge in TB control in Africa despite the strong efforts by the health sector and the civil society to fight it. Today, Afro Global Alliance promising to fight TB from grass-root has initiated a movement to compensate TB Advocates because it works when they campaign by sharing experience.

AGA TB Advocate in Accra has referred 7 patients to Chet Clinic Korle Bu and 6 positive cases out of 7 since his presentation as an Advocate with Afro Global Alliance.

TB Voice Network is a network of cured TB Advocates sharing experience together to sensitize the public on the symptoms, prevention and cure for TB. They are the best voice to call for action. The Global TB Candlelight Meditation will unveil the testimonies of Alhassan Mohammed a GTBCM Advocate.
