MDR-TB RESOURCES - SENTINEL


 

The Sentinel Project on Pediatric Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis is a global partnership of more than 300 researchers, caregivers, and advocates from more than 50 countries who share a vision of a world where no child dies from this curable disease. Since October 2011, network members have been collaborating to raise the visibility of this vulnerable population of children, and to share evidence and resources that can increase children’s access to prompt and effective treatment. Toward this end, task forces are working on joint projects.

Resources produced by the network are available for download at www.sentinel-project.org
