A new WHO recommendation for targeted next-generation sequencing to detect TB drug resistance is underpinned by evidence generated through FIND’s Seq&Treat project, funded by Unitaid. It will help countries implement new technologies that can quickly identify resistance to a range of TB drugs and ensure that patients get the correct treatment with minimum delay.

To mark World Tuberculosis (TB) Day, we released this video with our partners, TB experts, and champions, showcasing how partnerships have transformed the management of TB in the past 20 years. Thank you to everyone who contributed! Yes! We Can End TB.
Next-generation sequencing is a game changer in the fight against drug-resistant TB, and the new WHO recommendation is proof of the power it holds. We still have plenty to do to make this technology more affordable, more available, and easier to use. But as more countries take advantage of it, we look forward to a future where it is an integral part of national health systems for surveillance and patient care, so that timely testing and appropriate treatment is available to all.
