At the beginning of 2021, the PAS Center launched a new information and resource platform -  TB-REP 2.0 E-RESOURCES: http://www.tb-rep.net (E-Resources).

“We conceived the creation of the platform at the beginning of 2020. Even at that time, we understood what a significant amount of practical materials and resources would be created together with the partners of the TB-REP 2.0 regional project. For the convenience of their use and for improving the exchange of knowledge and experience in the EECA region, it was decided to develop a single resource center - TB-REP 2.0 Electronic resources,” said Liliana Caraulan, the Center for Health Policies and Studies. “We have big plans for the development of the platform in 2021, we intend to upload new useful materials for training and extending knowledge about the latest approaches in providing people-centered quality TB care.”

The content of the platform will be useful for experts of the national TB programs, representatives of civil society, specialists in the field of access to TB treatment and CRG, human rights defenders and representatives of TB affected communities.

The platform provides an open access to the resources and tools of the regional and national partners of the PAS Center, developed under the TB in Eastern Europe and Central Asia Project on Advancing People-Centered Quality TB Care – From the New Model of Care Towards Improving DR-TB Early Detection and Treatment Outcomes (TB-REP 2.0) to:

• build and consolidate the capacity of TB community and Civil Society Organizations;
• provide a space for Intercountry Practitioners Network to foster rapid exchange of knowledge and practical expertise;
• provide a space for the Medical Consilium on RR/MDR-TB;
• give an overview of TB-REP regional and country level progress update and plans and share the calendar of key regional and country level events;
• make available the webinars, virtual meetings and publications produced by TB-REP regional and national partners. 

The E-RESOURCES TB-REP 2.0 includes 7 components:
