Devex: Kenya will roll out the first child-friendly TB drug
“Kenya will become the first country to adopt and roll out at the national level the world’s first tuberculosis treatment for children next week. … The drug’s adoption in Kenya aims to correct a gap in TB treatment that frequently led to incorrect dosages and fueled drug-resistant strains of the disease. … The program comes through a partnership between WHO, Global Alliance for TB Drug Development, and UNITAID to develop and bring the drug through clinical trials, and will be implemented by the Kenyan government, local and international partners, including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria…” (Anders, 9/26).
