Belarus to switch to WHO’s new treatment guidelines for MDR-TB

“The World Health Organization has recently updated its treatment guidelines for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Now all MDR-TB patients (not only those with extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, XDR-TB) should get new medicines in line with the WHO's new recommendations,” Vyacheslav Grankov, Communicable Diseases Programme Coordinator of the World Health Organization in Belarus, said.
