The Sentinel Project on Pediatric Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis releases a guide meant to support the care of pregnant and peripartum people with drug-resistant TB and the neonates born to them.

At the South African TB Conference in Durban (13-16 September), the Sentinel Project on Pediatric Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis released a best practices document called 'Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Pregnant and Peripartum People: A Field Guide'.

The guide, which was developed by 17 experts from around the world, is meant to support the care of pregnant and peripartum people living with drug-resistant TB and the neonates born to them.

The guide fills a crucial gap in the care of this population and can be accessed here.
