It's time to end DR-TB in children

For decades, there were no child-friendly medicines to treat drug-resistant TB, so doctors had to treat them with drugs created for adults. But that is changing, now there are new child-friendly medicines to treat drug-resistant TB in children.

The Stop TB’s Global Drug Facility (GDF) set up the Pediatric Drug-Resistant TB initiative aiming to ensure access to the best possible treatments to children suffering from one of the deadliest diseases that exist.
