Stop TB USA was originally founded in 1992 as the National Coalition for Elimination of Tuberculosis (NCET) and organized to address domestic TB control. At that time, TB cases were increasing in the U.S. and there were outbreaks of multiple-drug resistant TB. There were 58 founding members (83 individuals) from public health, health care, professional medical organizations, and Congressional Health committees concerned with the care of individuals with tuberculosis and tuberculosis control. Stop TB USA is a partner in the Global Stop TB Partnership.
