As many as a quarter of the 180 survey respondents from 31 countries have had to close in […] Continue reading -> Federal Judge Orders Halt to USAID Work Stoppage; New CDC Data Reflects Silent Avian Flu Spread 14/02/2025 Elaine Ruth Fletcher A coalition of American non-profit, legal and small business groups welcomed a federal judge’s temporary restraining order (TRO) halting the Trump Administration’s executive order freezing virtually all USAID activities – followed by a “stop work” order on the agency by new US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The insights came from the endTB-Q trial aimed at finding a simpler, less toxic, shorter regimen for fluoroquinolone-resistant MDR-TB. Fluoroquinolone is a common class of […] Continue reading -> Tuberculosis Advocates Push for Cheaper Tests 12/11/2024 Disha Shetty Dozens of tuberculosis (TB) activists took to the stage during the opening of the annual World Conference on Lung Health in Bali, Indonesia, to demand that the price of GeneXpert tests to detect TB is slashed to $5 in low- and middle-income countries.
