I appreciate the kind words from Dr Kluge regarding our efforts in in the fight against TB in South Africa and globally. Yes, we can END TB!
In my meeting with Prof. @NNdjeka, 🇿🇦National TB Programme Manager, I highlighted South Africa’s leadership in TB research – including the TB PRACTECAL trial that led to @WHO’s 6-month all-oral drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) regimen – now saving lives worldwide.View quoted post on X
South Africa’s experience with DR-TB and TB/HIV co-infection is highly relevant for the European Region as we face rising DR-TB linked to conflict & migration.
We also explored stronger interregional cooperation through TB-Free Central Asia, BRICS+ health work, and joint research on vaccines & diagnostics.
