Agree 100% but whats the use investng in R&D if benefits don’t reach ppl in the highest TB/DRTB burden country? Pts still wait fr BPaL/M. the excuse is there is no good evidence😂Almost 100 countries implementing with over 97% success! #FTTC Ministry of Health GCTA World Health Organization (WHO) DDG - TB | #TBMuktBharat

The 1/4/6x24 Campaign is fighting for better, shorter TB regimens – as little as 1 month (or once weekly) for TB prevention, 4 months for drug-susceptible TB & 6 months for drug-resistant TB – to give people their lives back. Read the mid-campaign report: treatmentactiongroup.org/publication/ge…

What a great cast of passionate people doing their best to #FastTracktheCure for everyone! Giving some roses and love to SCDIVietnam, Yayasan KNCV Indonesia, TBpeople Philippines, and GCTA for pushing #6MonthsMax DR-TB treatments not only in their respective countries, but for the whole world! 🥰

Putting ppl at the centre of TB care is essential!
