Tuberculosis continues to be a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Diagnosis and treatment of paediatric patients presents a challenge that can only be improved by the joint efforts of the international community, working together in cooperation and partnership. This article reviews global resources available to doctors and healthcare professionals in the fight against TB, including international programmes, policies and healthcare pathways. Special attention is paid to the role of international paediatric radiology in improving diagnostics, including available educational resources and support on a global, regional, national and individual level.
