Diagnostics to support the scaling up of shorter, safer tuberculosis regimens

Diagnostics to support the scaling up of shorter, safer tuberculosis regimens

The 1/4/6x24 Campaign, launched in 2022, calls on stakeholders to implement the shortest and best available tuberculosis regimens—1 month or once-weekly for tuberculosis prevention, 4 months for drug-sensitive tuberculosis, and 6 months for drug-resistant tuberculosis—by the end of 2024.

Realising the promise of these shorter regimens requires urgently addressing gaps in tuberculosis screening and diagnosis, the weakest link in the cascade of care.
