In recent developments, researchers have identified three new all-oral drug regimens for treating rifampin-resistant tuberculosis. These regimens, endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), offer shorter, less toxic treatments and are already being used in several countries. This marks a significant step forward in the fight against multidrug-resistant TB, providing new hope for patients worldwide. Additionally, the USAID funding freeze has disrupted global TB control efforts, highlighting the need for sustained financial support to combat this deadly disease. The Nigerian government has also inaugurated a Technical Working Group to tackle AIDS, TB, and Malaria, demonstrating a renewed commitment to integrating and coordinating health programs.
