Abstract

Bedaquiline, pretomanid, and linezolid, with or without moxifloxacin, have revolutionized treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis. In Ukraine, we observed an 86% success rate (394 of 460) under programmatic conditions when drugs were accessible, exceeding prior estimates (58%) and aligning with trial findings (80%-90%). However, access and implementation remain a concern in conflict-affected settings.
