Download or read book National tuberculosis prevalence surveys 2007 2016 written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 2007 and the end of 2016, 24 countries implemented a total of 25 national tuberculosis prevalence surveys using methods recommended by WHO. The 25 surveys consisted of 13 in Asia and 12 in Africa. Collectively, survey findings have informed the policies, plans and programmatic actions needed to address gaps in TB diagnosis and treatment and to reduce the burden of TB disease. Finally, the 24 countries have a robust baseline for assessing progress towards new global targets set in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (2016–2030) and WHO’s End TB Strategy (2016–2035). The methods, results, successes achieved, challenges faced and lessons learned from the 25 surveys were comprehensively documented in the book. We viewed such a product as a global public good, that should be available to all those with an interest in and commitment to using survey findings, now and in the future e.g. academics, donors, public health officers and national TB programmes. As with implementation of the 25 surveys themselves, the book is the result of a major global, regional and national collaborative and collective effort, with more than 450 contributors from all around the world.

Download or read book Global Tuberculosis Report 2021 written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Health Organization, through its Global Tuberculosis (TB) Programme, leads and guides the global effort to end the TB epidemic through universal access to people-centred prevention and care, multisectoral action and innovation. Each year, since 1997, the WHO Global TB Report provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the TB epidemic, and of the progress in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease, at global, regional and country levels. This is done in the context of global TB commitments, strategies and targets. The 2021 edition of the report has been produced in a new and more web-centric format. This is designed to make the content available in smaller (more “bite-sized”) chunks that are easier to read, digest, navigate and use. The short and slim report PDF, with 30 pages of main content and six short annexes, is accompanied by expanded and more detailed digital content on web pages. This document is a compilation of these web pages and should be read in conjunction with the main report.

Download or read book State of inequality HIV tuberculosis and malaria written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report delivers the first systematic analysis of available data to make an authoritative statement on the status of inequality in HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria. Monitoring inequalities in HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria (in terms of burden, prevention and treatment) helps to pinpoint where there may be gaps and identify population groups that are being left behind, and support countries and international organizations to tailor policies, programmes, and service provision to close these gaps. The objectives of the report are to: assess the latest status and change of inequality in HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis globally; identify good-performing countries in terms of equity as well as countries that have room for improvement; and investigate the association of inequality with inequality in other health topics, social determinants of health and access to health facilities. This report supports Output 4.1.2 of GPW 13 (GPW 13 impacts and outcomes, global and regional health trends, Sustainable Development Goal indicators, health inequalities and disaggregated data monitored). Similar analysis have been previously conducted and published for other disease topics, including State of inequality: Childhood immunization and State of inequality: Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health.

Download or read book Compendium of data and evidence related tools for use in TB planning and programming written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, there has been a considerable increase in the number of tools to generate, analyse and use data and evidence, to support discussion and decision-making by national TB programmes (NTPs). Increasingly, countries are developing more robust national surveillance systems; implementing multiple health surveys; and using data analysis and visualization tools in policy, planning, programming and investment decisions. However, as more data are generated and data analysis tools evolve and increase in number, it can be challenging to understand how, why and when these tools should be implemented. The document summarizes information about the key tools related to data and evidence that are available for use in tuberculosis (TB) planning and programming, and how they can be applied. The tools that are profiled are described in terms of how they fit within the People-centred framework for TB programme planning and prioritization. It can also be used independently to inform decisions taken by NTPs about the implementation of the tools included in this document. Together with the people-centred framework, this compendium aims to enable better use of data and evidence for TB programme planning at both the national and subnational levels. It is designed to help NTPs and their national stakeholders to understand how and when different data and evidence-related tools could be used.

Download or read book Biosafety and Biosecurity written by Jonathan Jaime G. Guerrero and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many guidelines, protocols and advisories that outline how biosafety and biosecurity can be adopted by institutions around the world. Whilst helpful, many of these are tailored to affluent Western nations. This leaves developing nations far behind since their laboratories and institutions are resource-scarce and biosafety and biosecurity are not mainstreamed entirely among the different laboratory workers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and academics. Biosafety and Biosecurity: Practical Insights and Applications for Low and Middle-Income Countries aims to bridge this gap by comprehensively summarizing the state and development of biosafety and biosecurity in developing and developed nations in a comparative analysis. This book includes basic concepts and principles of biosafety and biosecurity, including certification and legal frameworks, both international and local, and biosafety and biosecurity across disciplines including environmental, medical, and special topics that are relevant to countries with comparable conditions. This proposed book solves the problem of the lack of a prescribed professional title that comprehensively summarizes the state and development of biosafety and biosecurity throughout the world, allowing the reader a 360 view of the subject area. This book will appeal to a global audience of biorisk officers, health and safety professionals and specialists in the life sciences, health and allied fields, environmental science, engineering, and plant and animal agriculture.

Download or read book Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Its Prevention written by Takefumi Saito and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, 10 million people fall ill with tuberculosis (TB) in the world, and of those, 1.5 million people die even though it is a preventable and curable disease. As a result, TB remains the world’s leading infectious cause of death. On the other hand, in industrialized countries, the TB incidence has fallen to a historic low, and clinicians’ experience with TB diminished significantly in recent years. Additional challenges for clinicians include atypical presentation of TB in the immunocompromised, especially among the elderly, and an increasing number of patients with drug-resistant TB. Delayed diagnosis of TB leads to the spread of TB including nosocomial transmission because TB is an air-borne infectious disease, and suboptimal treatment can result in development of drug resistance. Furthermore, treatment of latent TB infection (LTBI) can prevent future TB cases but it has been under-utilized despite recent innovations in diagnosis and treatment regimens of LTBI. This book focuses on advances in diagnostic tools and treatment for both TB disease and latent TB infection. Each chapter/topic is written by one of the top TB experts in the field and the authors are from Japan and the US. Pulmonary Tuberculosis and its Prevention offers up-to-date information that can be incorporated into a busy practice of clinicians while they can appreciate broad international perspectives and gain in-depth knowledge on TB.
