The National Tuberculosis (TB) program (NTP) is housed in the Bureau of Public Health (BOG), the department of the MoH that coordinates preventive health care, supervises and executes programs that provide information on the distribution of diseases.
As the Ministry of Health is responsible for Tuberculosis (TB) control and prevention in Suriname and it provides funding for TB through three mechanisms: the budget of the MoH reserved for the operationalization of the BOG; a special budget line to fight against HIV, TB and Malaria as well as until 2021 a grant from the Global Fund (GF).
The health insurances pay for the costs of hospital care. The Government of Suriname covers the cost for diagnosis and treatment, including medication for TB and HIV.
