Project

Development of molecular diagnostic capabilities for the management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis South Kivu

There are no known data regarding the prevalence and incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, which are necessary for the development and implementation of a national program to combat the epidemic. Through this project, diagnostic skills are developed to start a monitoring program in both North and South Kivu through advanced molecular biology (PCR).
