with the call YES! WE CAN END TB. The last year’s theme’s continuation YES! WE
CAN END TB by 2023 to bring powers collectively to achieve the United Nations
High-Level Meeting (UNHLM) on Tuberculosis 2023’s political targets to END TB;
the theme narrates a few more things like the engagement of those affected by
TB, communities, and civil society to lead the movement to END TB. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The TB STUDY GROUP (TSG), a civil society
organization in Bangladesh believes that diagnosis of Tuberculosis is difficult.
The TSG stresses the expansion of molecular WHO Recommended Diagnostics
Cartridge-based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CB-NAAT)- GeneXpert and
Tuenut, innovation of newer drug for short-course treatment and use of
Artificial Intelligence (AI) for ending this disease. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The TSG also recommends early availability of
anti-TB vaccine; the few anti-TB vaccine candidates in phase III trial. Those
vaccines must complete the trials soon, the completion of safety tests, and
those anti- TB vaccines must be available to save more lives from
tuberculosis. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

Currently, resistance is growing against the ancient bacteria Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. The anti-tubercular drugs Rifampicin, Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, and Ethambutol are administered to treat all forms of Tuberculosis. All these drugs have nowadays developed resistance, making TB Treatment difficult. One school of thought believes that development-resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is a sequel of man-made phenomenon. The appropriate dose and schedule can prevent resistance if Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) is maintained. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span color="var(--color-text)" face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: var(--artdeco-reset-typography-font-weight-normal); white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span color="var(--color-text)" face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: var(--artdeco-reset-typography-font-weight-normal); white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span color="var(--color-text)" face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: var(--artdeco-reset-typography-font-weight-normal); white-space-collapse: preserve;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKWGOAL5UT-Pw4LwB-u28uUa9JUkcGXKXkP5Kb9x4FzusMYVNcqxtMXeTXCQbisN6FWN1jkMZv3VYkOoiYOvlZE7xNy5IbxbWsuQLYMvhu55y4ztA31yoOQ2d0YgTL_QIazx7uGvHtnW-LVxtJUJLvRHJbpNLcM2AyquDgcPwM5qDvpl5nWO6u_lTJi5m9/s4105/AMR%20%2001-02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2217" data-original-width="4105" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKWGOAL5UT-Pw4LwB-u28uUa9JUkcGXKXkP5Kb9x4FzusMYVNcqxtMXeTXCQbisN6FWN1jkMZv3VYkOoiYOvlZE7xNy5IbxbWsuQLYMvhu55y4ztA31yoOQ2d0YgTL_QIazx7uGvHtnW-LVxtJUJLvRHJbpNLcM2AyquDgcPwM5qDvpl5nWO6u_lTJi5m9/w543-h281/AMR%20%2001-02.jpg" width="543" /></a></div><br />TB Study Group (TSG) on World AMR Awareness Week calls for the proper administration of DOT for all forms of TB Treatment to prevent Resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis together. </span></div>TB Study Grouphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16047613146806415411noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890978675033577667.post-55273518972091572912023-09-29T12:22:00.004-07:002023-09-29T12:36:12.146-07:00 Urgently ENDING TB Needs Uninterrupted Supply Chain <p>Civil Society Note </p><p><span style="color: red;"><b>Point to Ponder </b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 18.6667px; text-align: justify;">Urgently Ending TB is a mammoth task for TB Advocates, activists, and healthcare workers.
