Tuberculosis: Institut Pasteur du Cambodge involved in drafting WHO guidelines in connection with the TB-Speed project
While Tuberculosis is still a Public Health challenge in Cambodia, the international world TB day on March 24th was the opportunity for the TB-Speed project to highlight some achievements in its 5th newsletter.
The TB- Speed Project is a Unitaid and L’Initiative-Expertise France funded research, supported by the ANRS, aiming to reduce childhood mortality due to tuberculosis. Institut Pasteur du Cambodge together with the National Center for Tuberculosis and Leprosis Control (CENAT) and several health care facilities in Phnom Penh and in province, is implementing the study in Cambodia, contributing to the screening of thousands of children for tuberculosis.
