The Zero TB Initiative is a multi-institutional alliance of local coalitions that are working to rapidly drive down TB rates by using a comprehensive approach that integrates three simultaneous components: SEARCH, TREAT, and PREVENT. This webinar series will comprise units to: (a) review the principles and components of a comprehensive approach, and (b) bring together coalitions to share their experiences.
To date, we have held four separate sessions examining the best practices in the detection, treatment and prevention of TB. The first session focused on preventive therapy and included the experience of colleagues in Karachi, Pakistan in implementing a program to provide TB preventive treatment to individuals exposed at home to both drug-susceptible and drug-resistant forms of TB. The following three sessions were led by Dr. Jen Furin and focused on the treatment and prevention of drug-resistant TB in children and adolescents. All of the recordings are posted below in both English and Spanish.
