Dr Naidoo’s technical support in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, improved access to high-quality, person-centred DR-TB services, strengthening the Ministry of Health’s capacity through improved clinical practices, patient tracking, and sample collection. This included streamlining TB service delivery and implementing shorter treatment regimens, like the six-month DR-TB BPaL/BPaL-L regimens. The TA developed guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for these regimens and facilitated training sessions across various districts to build clinician capacity and improve overall DR-TB management.
