Wednesday 27 March 2019:  A ground breaking new programme, BEAT Tuberculosis, was launched in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It is a world first in the fight against Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (DR TB) that is expected to slash treatment time-frames, make taking treatment far easier and minimise devastating side-effects. The program is supported by USAID in collaboration with the Wits Health Consortium.
