endTB aims to find shorter, less toxic and more effective treatments for ‘multidrug-resistant TB’ (MDR-TB) through:

  • access to new drugs
  • two clinical trials
  • advocacy at national and global levels.

Covering 18 countries, the project is a partnership between Partners In Health, Médecins Sans Frontières, Interactive Research & Development and financial partners UNITAID and the Transformational Investment Capacity (TIC) of MSF.
