Bangladesh has taken a powerful step forward in the fight against drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). The country’s National Tuberculosis Program (NTP), under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), has officially begun the national rollout of the six-month, all-oral BPaL/BPaLM regimen.

The PeerLINC Knowledge Hub hosted a weeklong capacity-building program for Bangladesh’s National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) managers to equip national leaders with the tools and knowledge to speed up the rollout of six-month BPaLM/BPaL regimens. Among the attendees was Dr. Khaled Bin Yousef, Director of Programmes at FTTC implementing partner, Nari Maitree.
