Dr Yasi said this recently during a three-day training on Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) Tuberculosis (TB) in Port Moresby delivered to 28 clinicians from health facilities under the National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA).
MDR-TB is a form of tuberculosis infection caused by bacteria that are resistant to two of the most powerful medications, Refampicin and Isoniazed, used to treat TB. At the same time, Refampicin-Resistant TB (RR-TB) is resistant to Refampicin, which is also treated as MDR-TB.
