Implementing tNGS for Detection of Drug-Resistant TB in High Burden Countries

A webinar series organized by the Stop TB Partnership and FIND, in collaboration with USAID, Unitaid, the Global Laboratory Initiative (GLI) and the New Diagnostics Working Group (NDWG).

This webinar series will familiarize participants with the recently published WHO recommendations on the use of tNGS to detect TB drug resistance and help guide clinical decision-making, adoption considerations, available resources for implementations, and the status of current efforts to improve assay performance. Early implementing high burden countries will share their experiences using tNGS including for clinical decision-making, and manufacturers of tNGS assays will be invited to share information on their products.
