To ensure uninterrupted access to this treatment for all patients, MSF supplied the national TB program with drugs, and our specialist advisors provided technical support to the staff responsible for reporting adverse effects and analyzing medical data.
We also helped the RSPC PP laboratory prepare for the introduction of next-generation sequencing, a technology that enables faster detection of drug resistance, by organizing a site visit to a laboratory jointly run by MSF and the Ministry of Health in Uzbekistan, which already uses the technology.
