Although it can be prevented and successfully treated, tuberculosis (TB) is the world’s deadliest infectious disease: in 2015, 1.8 million people died from it. While there have been substantial and important innovations in the fight against TB, including faster, more accurate diagnostic tests and the first new medicines in nearly 50 years, deadly gaps remain in implementing and providing access to these advances.
The endTB Medical Committee formulates recommendations for off-label and compassionate use of the new anti-TB drugs for M(X)DR-TB.
It provides advice to any MSF, PIH and IRD projects for individual patient’s management on a case-by-case basis in answer to requests initiated by clinicians from the projects.
