Theme 5 - Tuberculosis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae

This section focuses on two pathogens that are rapidly becoming untreatable. Tuberculosis and gonorrhea are serious threats to public health in developing countries. While many countries are implementing strategies around the spread of TB, participants in the MOOC highlighted challenges such as limited resources, lack of facilities for detection and treatment, and inaccessibility to testing facilities. In terms of the diagnostic tests for NG, many participants still reported the use of microscopy as the mainstay for the diagnosis of NG in their facilities. Even though some people do culture and sensitivity, the use of molecular tests is extremely rare. Please discuss what is being done in your region and what limitations you are facing so that we can find ways to move forward.
