Regional Green Light Committee (GLC)

TB patients nationwide must get best treatment

Treatment Action Group director for TB-HIV Project, Erica Lessem says all TB patients in Papua New Guinea must get the best treatment and not only in the most affected areas.

Lessem was part of the Regional Green Light Committee (GLC) that recently visited the country to evaluate the progress of TB response that has occurred since 2015.

Lessem said they’ve seen great progress in the hot spot areas where the best treatment is given to TB patients especially in Daru and Gulf Province.
