1/ Glad to have been part of an invigorating 3-day workshop to accelerate the uptake of new WHO TB policies across the WHO European region. Experts from 12 countries joined in—national TB programmes, labs, implementers, donors, civil society & technical partners. @msf.ca 🧵
4/ Despite strong health systems , over 65,000 new cases of MDR/RR-TB were reported in the European region in 2023. This is a wake-up call. We can't let outdated approaches hold back progress when better, faster, people-centered treatments and practices are within reach. @unitaid.bsky.social

@MSF has been working hand-in-hand with national TB programmes in several countries across the region—introducing shorter, more effective treatment regimens and person-centered care models. The goal - Improved adherence and increased TB treatment success rates. @kncvtbplus.bsky.social

A bright light in a dark moment: The price of the critical TB drug bedaquiline has now dropped to $90 per adult treatment course for TB, a 54% reduction since just 2023. This is a huge win for @tbfighters.org and the TB activism community generally. www.stoptb.org/what-we-do/f... (1/2)...

We are happy to be top of mind this year on @theguardian.com for their yearly donor appeal. Our work in crises around the world is only possible due to our independent funding. It’s what allows us to deliver neutral and impartial humanitarian medical care where it’s needed most.
