“We want to implement this short course four-month therapy by the 3rd quarter of 2023… The WHO has recommended us to adopt the four months treatment for regimen–which is a two months of certain list of drugs, and another two months of another set of drugs,” Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said at a press conference on Monday.
