  3. STOP TB Partnership • DOTS strategy (Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course) • Global Targets: cure rate up to - 85% case Detection - 70%

  4. TB Register World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe The 5 components of the internationally recommended TB controlstrategy • Political and financial commitment • Case detection by sputum smear microscopy and culture of TB suspects • Directly observed and standardized short-course anti-TB chemotherapy (DOTS) • Regular, uninterrupted supply of all essential anti-TB drugs • A standardized recording and reporting system

  5. Stop TB Partnership • 2004 News • March 2004, new Delhi – Meeting • Participants from the Movement • (Members of the Stop TB) • American Red Cross • Russian Red Cross • Secretariat

Lessons learned • DOTS – the most cost effective • Less progress in case detection target • Limited access to diagnostic (partly because of weak social mobilization) • Political commitment in some countries to be increased • Focus on institutional capacity building • Partnership to be expanded to private sector, civil society, communities • TB / HIV • Advocacy / social mobilization World Health Organization

  7. Achievements & Aims 2001–2005 • By 2001: National plans and increased commitments • By 2002: Accelerating detection rates to 37% • By 2005: 70/85 TB control targets

  10. HIV/AIDS ALWAYS ON BOARD IN TUBERCULOSIS PROGRAMMES Is it so?
