The power of friendship: A child-centred comic to overcome TB stigma during the war in Ukraine

The comic is an effective tool for reducing TB stigma and promoting empathy among children. It highlights that TB is curable and recovery depends on social support. Positive feedback from health and education professionals confirms its value. Plans are underway to expand its use in Ukraine. This model may be adapted globally in humanitarian settings.
