TB activists co-founded the 1/4/6×24 Campaign to demand the universal implementation of shorter and more effective TB regimens: as little as one month or once weekly for TB prevention, four months for drug-sensitive TB, and six months for drug-resistant TB by the end of 2024.

An op-ed in PLOS Global Public Health lays out what action steps are needed on the part of governments, global health actors, funders, researchers, and product developers to make this happen.
