Visit to Maputo Central Hospital
A Unitaid delegation visited the pediatric ward of Maputo Central Hospital in September 2017. Children with tuberculosis at the hospital will soon be able to receive the child-friendly TB treatment developed by the TB Alliance and its partners with funding from Unitaid. The new formulation is soluble, fruit-flavoured, and affordable. Before Unitaid’s investment, children around the world did not have access to appropriate TB medicine. As a result, caregivers often had to cut or crush tablets intended for adults. Imprecise dosing frequently led to continued illness.
