dossierMTb final edition 2025

This is the final editorial. This is the final MTb. This is the final quarterly published ‘paper’ Journal of the NVTG. But it is definitely not the end of our work.

Our ambition continues: to bring you a blend of science, first-hand reports from professionals in the field (young and seasoned), case reports, book reviews, and articles that explore new diagnostics, clinical strategies, and social approaches in global health. Our aim remains the same: to increase access to quality health care and to strive for health justice and equity, globally.

This is the final editorial. This is the final MTb. This is the final quarterly published ‘paper’ Journal of the NVTG. But it is definitely not the end of our work.

Our ambition continues: to bring you a blend of science, first-hand reports from professionals in the field (young and seasoned), case reports, book reviews, and articles that explore new diagnostics, clinical strategies, and social approaches in global health. Our aim remains the same: to increase access to quality health care and to strive for health justice and equity, globally.

For this final edition of MTb, we also invited our editors-in-chief from the past twelve years to contribute something personal – from the heart. Some revisited columns they had previously written and others reflected on their career paths or spoke out on issues dear to them.

So, take a walk with us in this closing chapter – and take a step forward with us into a new beginning. One in which we will continue to present you with similar content in a new coat, a digital platform that offers the same rich content, now more accessible than ever to a broader audience. The new format gives us more flexibility to publish timely content on global health science, field reports, clinical cases and stories that matter.

Thank you, dear reader, for your continued support and interest. We welcome you to join us on our new and ever-exciting journey.

Esther Jurgens, Editor-in-Chief
Ed Zijlstra, Guest (co-) Editor-in-Chief
