Drug-Resistant TB: We published a Declaration on Palliative Care and MDR/XDR-TB in the IJTLH in 2012 and an article in Lancet ID. We are continuing to work to provide education on palliative care for DR-TB workers. We participated in a Salzburg training seminar in Austria Feb 26th - March 3rd 2012 where TB experts from former Soviet Republics received training in palliative care. In October of 2012 we held two satellite symposia on palliative care for DR-TB at the UNION World Lung Health Conference. On October 31st we are scheduled to do three presentations at an all day post graduate course at the Union Conference in Paris. |
