About us
Who is TB Proof? TB Proof is a tuberculosis (TB) advocacy organisation, based in South Africa (SA), founded in 2012 and registered as an NPO in 2015. TB Proof’s mission is to combine stories and science to work towards a shared goal of a world free of TB. TB Proof is uniquely positioned to engage in high-level advocacy for improved TB care, due to its interdisciplinary expertise, including public health, social science, clinical medicine, and survivor-led advocacy. The mission of TB Proof: We don’t want a single person to get sick with TB. That is what it means to end TB and have a TB Proof world. We aim to achieve that by combining stories and science. Through involving communities affected by TB and using the latest research, we advocate for high quality TB prevention and care. TB Proof aims to: (1) Build advocacy capacity among TB-affected communities and provide platforms where they can contribute to improving TB prevention and care. (2) Mobilise resources for TB prevention and care through community activism and evidence-based advocacy in collaboration with national and global partners. (3) Destigmatise all forms of TB through interventions aimed at improving TB knowledge in communities and by encouraging affected people to share their experiences. (4) Advocate for safe healthcare environments for health workers and communities. (5) Pursue health equity by advocating for person-centred, high quality TB prevention and care for everyone affected by TB.

At today's Global TB Caucus Parliamentary Meeting, Ingrid Schoeman called for urgent action on TB as a social justice issue—not only a medical one. Representing TB Proof, she highlighted the need to close implementation gaps by investing in community-led solutions, strengthening TB testing and prevention, and scaling up survivor-led peer support. Her message was clear: we already have the policies and tools—what’s needed now is accountability, domestic investment, and action that centres affected communities.

TB Proof reposted this
It Takes a Tribe: From a TB Coma to Running Ingrid Schoeman was a dietitian when she contracted XDR-TB (extensively drug-resistant TB) and fell into a coma. Her survival was fueled by her "tribe" of family, friends, and colleagues. Running helped her reclaim her freedom. Today, as Director of TB Proof in South Africa, Ingrid uses advocacy to build a global tribe for health equity. She is a powerful example of human resilience and what can be achieved through a collective effort to end TB. Join the tribe and run with us!

Post-tuberculosis lung disease affects millions of TB survivors worldwide—yet it still has no dedicated ICD code. This leaves patients struggling with long-term lung damage, breathlessness, and disability without proper recognition in health systems. Instead of being tracked and treated as a distinct condition, it is often misclassified or completely overlooked. Without accurate coding, the true burden remains hidden—and patients remain unseen. Read the full article to learn more about why this global blind spot matters and why urgent change is needed in how we recognise and care for TB survivors. #PostTBCare NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) TBpeople Cambodia Stellenbosch University London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, U. of London https://lnkd.in/dzVtaZhV

Our amazing Director sharing her TB story 🤩 #WorldTBday
Ingrid never imagined she would go from caring for patients to becoming one herself. When she was diagnosed with drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), she saw firsthand how critical support for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention can be. TB is preventable, treatable, and curable—but only if the resources are there. #WorldTBDay

We’ve made huge advances in TB technology—but why are we still falling short? @ Ingrid Schoeman and co-authors unpack how a narrow, clinical focus leaves critical gaps in funding, policy, and community engagement. To truly #endTB, we need to start with the whole population—and support people long after treatment ends. https://lnkd.in/gbEecPB9
