About Philippine Tuberculosis Society Inc.

PTSI is a non-profit and private organization that has been at the forefront in the battle against tuberculosis since 1910. To this day, the institute complements the government's National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) in the detection, treatment, and control of tuberculosis in the country. PTSI operates with the Quezon Institute (QI) as its hospital arm, its Research and Training Divisions for technical support and its Field Operating Division (FOD) in managing its provincial chest clinics. With its provincial network, PTSI actively implements the Community Outreach Program and Education (COPE Initiative).
