The course faculty includes international experts in the field of clinical tuberculosis. The Visiting Professor in Tuberculosis 2025, Professor Alice Zwerling from the University in Ottawa, Canada, will conduct a Satellite Workshop on “Health Economy in TB” for residents and fellows and a keynote lecture on “Cost effectiveness of novel molecular methods for drug susceptibility testing”.
