TB care needs more than detection and treatment. We must address its social, economic, and mental health dimensions with a person-centered approach. Lancelot Pinto and Chapal Mehra writes.

Drug-resistant TB is a major cause of AMR deaths. This year’s United Nations high level meeting on AMR is critical for ensuring political commitment and action. Despite rapid tests and shorter treatment, only 1 in 4 people with DR TB are cured. @paimadhu carole mitnick Treatment Action Group (TAG) Stop TB Partnership
