Download or read book Guidance for national strategic planning for tuberculosis written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A national strategic plan (NSP) for TB is a key document that guides national authorities and stakeholders on how to comprehensively address the TB epidemic through interventions within the health and across other sectors. The NSP translates global, regional and national commitments into national and subnational targets and activities to be implemented to achieve these targets, and provides the basis for mobilizing domestic and external resources for the TB response. It outlines the overall goal(s), strategies and priority interventions, and provides guidance on how these are coordinated across sectors. This guidance is intended for use in developing standalone TB strategic plans, or TB interventions as part of multidisease or health sector plans. It describes key considerations and steps for strategic planning for TB in line with the World Health Organization’s End TB strategy, and the proposed structure of the NSP. The target audience of this publication are all stakeholders involved in national strategic planning for TB (e.g., ministry of health, other government ministries, private sector, civil society, affected communities, academic and research institutions, and technical and funding partners). The current document is an update to the 2015 Toolkit to develop a national strategic plan for TB prevention, care and control. It was developed to better align with global commitments and latest developments in TB and in public health, and builds on lessons learned from using the 2015 toolkit.

This book was released on 2023-10-11 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of community and civil society engagement to end TB has been highlighted in various strategies of global commitments. The WHO End TB Strategy, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizes the role of communities and civil society in ending the TB epidemic by 2030. Furthermore, the political declaration of the 2081 United Nations High-level Meeting on TB Highlights the need to develop integrated, people-centred, community-based, gender-responsive health services. This guidance was developed in collaboration with civil society and other partners, in order to further strengthen engagement and leverage capacities of communities' and civil society in line with the End TB Strategy. The guidance emphasizes the complementarity of health systems and community systems; the key roles that people affected by TB should play in planning, decision-making, implementation and monitoring; and the role of ministries of health and their NTPs. It underlines the importance of fair, sustainable financing and of policy environment for community and civil society engagement. Its purpose is to provide guidance for communities and for all stakeholders in the health system for working together to end TB and strengthening people-centred care. Stakeholders in national TB responses include ministries of health, other government ministries, the private sector, civil society and affected communities, academic and research institutions, and technical and funding partners.

Download or read book Strategic Planning for Tuberculosis TB Elimination in the United States and Prevention and Control of TB Globally written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Division of Tuberculosis Elimination's (DTBE) strategic plan focuses on the following goals: Domestic: eliminate TB in the United States (defined as d" case/million); Global: contribute to reductions in global incidence and mortality by 50% each (compared to 1990 baseline, based on the Stop TB Partnership Global Plan to Stop TB (2006-2015). DTBE has been carrying out strategic planning sessions periodically since 1989, using surveillance data and scientific findings to identify new directions. Depending on funding availability, DTBE launches new projects through an internal peer-review process, selecting those with the greatest potential for having an impact on eliminating TB. In 2011 DTBE staff refined the approach to U.S. TB elimination to reflect the current environment. This includes budget constraints and the lowest TB rates in history (but with a slowing of the rate of decline), greater complexity in the identification and successful treatment of TB cases, continued increases in foreign-born TB cases, excess TB rates in racial and ethnic minorities, concern over HIV-associated TB and drug-resistant TB, and the U.S. Government's (USG) growing role in addressing TB globally.
Download or read book Systematic Screening for Active Tuberculosis written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been calls to revisit the experiences of TB screening campaigns that were widely applied in Europe and North America in the mid-20th century, as well as more recent experiences with TB screening in countries with a high burden of the disease, and to assess their possible relevance for TB care and prevention in the 21st century. In response, WHO has developed guidelines on screening for active TB. An extensive review of the evidence has been undertaken. The review suggests that screening, if done in the right way and targeting the right people, may reduce suffering and death, but the review also highlights several reasons to be cautious. As discussed in detail in this book, there is a need to balance potential benefits against the risks and costs of screening; this conclusion is mirrored by the history of TB screening. This publication presents the first comprehensive assessment by WHO of the appropriateness of screening for active TB since the recommendations made in 1974 by the Expert Committee. However, the relative effectiveness and cost effectiveness of screening remain uncertain, a point that is underscored by the systematic reviews presented in this guideline. Evidence suggests that some risk groups should always be screened, whereas the prioritization of other risk groups as well as the choice of screening approach depend on the epidemiology, the health-system context, and the resources available. This book sets out basic principles for prioritizing risk groups and choosing a screening approach; it also emphasizes the importance of assessing the epidemiological situation, adapting approaches to local situations, integrating TB screening into other health-promotion activities, minimizing the risk of harm to individuals, and engaging in continual monitoring and evaluation. It calls for more and better research to assess the impact of screening and to develop and evaluate new screening tests and approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuberculosis emerged as an epidemic in the 1600s, began to decline as sanitation improved in the 19th century, and retreated further when effective therapy was developed in the 1950s. TB was virtually forgotten until a recent resurgence in the U.S. and around the worldâ€"ominously, in forms resistant to commonly used medicines. What must the nation do to eliminate TB? The distinguished committee from the Institute of Medicine offers recommendations in the key areas of epidemiology and prevention, diagnosis and treatment, funding and organization of public initiatives, and the U.S. role worldwide. The panel also focuses on how to mobilize policy makers and the public to effective action. The book provides important background on the pathology of tuberculosis, its history and status in the U.S., and the public and private response. The committee explains how the U.S. can act with both self-interest and humanitarianism in addressing the worldwide incidence of TB.

Download or read book Framework for Conducting Reviews of Tuberculosis Programmes written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The review of a formal national tuberculosis (TB) programme (or the efforts that countries make to control the disease regardless of the existence of a formal "programme") is an important exercise to evaluate the implementation and impact of TB prevention, care and control. It should be jointly undertaken by the government together with the relevant national and international partners that are involved in TB efforts. A TB programme review assesses the performance of the strategy implemented to fight TB and identifies the strengths and weaknesses of interventions that have been put in place. An appropriate review must, then, describe specific recommendations on the strategic orientations that need to be adopted and developed to overcome the gaps identified in the way that TB prevention, care and control are being implemented. These recommendations provide the foundation for improving the strategy adopted to control TB and for revising or developing a national strategic plan. Moreover, the review of a TB programme provides an important opportunity to advocate for TB prevention, care and control among policy makers, to strengthen the engagement of national health authorities and key stakeholders, and to enhance the mobilization of resources from both domestic and international sources. The first WHO guidelines on how to review a TB programme were published in 1998, and were designed to support the assessment of, and improvements to, the implementation of the DOTS strategy. Since then, there have been major evolutions in the WHO strategy for prevention, care and control of TB. Important new interventions have been defined, developed and implemented: for example, collaborative TB/HIV activities and the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB. Therefore, this new guidance takes into consideration all strategic approaches that are part of the current WHO strategy for TB control. In 2013, WHO began developing a post-2015 global tuberculosis strategy. Thus, this guidance will be further updated once the new strategy is fully translated into operational language. The main purpose of this document is therefore to provide guidance on how to organize a review of a national TB programme. It identifies the keys steps needed to plan and prepare the review and specifies how to carry out field visits. It also describes the process of using the findings of the field visits, formulating recommendations and developing a review report. The document also includes, in annexes and in web-based format, checklists that can be adapted and used to assess key areas of TB prevention, care and control such as TB surveillance system, the management of the TB programme, and the process of TB case finding.
