This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant progress has been made in TB control in the Western Pacific Region in the past decade with a decline in the number of prevalent TB patients and the diagnosis treatment of over 10 million patients. Despite these successes, TB control programs in the Region face significant challenges, such as hard-to-reach vulnerable and marginalized groups in which the TB epidemic tends to concentrate, TB-HIV co-infection and the emergence and spread of drug-resistant TB, especially multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB). To mitigate these threats, the Regional Strategy to Stop Tuberculosis in the Western Pacific (2011-2015) was developed in consultation with and endorsed by Member States. The new Strategy builds upon the previous two regional strategic plans and introduces new, evidence-based interventions and technologies in response to the new and emerging challenges. The Strategy provides a reference for action to be taken, focusing on five core objectives: (1) Promoting universal and equitable access to quality TB diagnosis and treatment for all people; (2) Strengthening TB laboratory capacity; (3) Scaling up the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB; (4) Expanding TB/HIV collaborative activities; and (5) Strengthening TB program management capacity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuberculosis is a disease of poverty, resulting in an estimated 1,000 deaths each day in the WHO Western Pacific region. The loss of productive labour and frequently unaffordable treatment costs usually forces TB patients and their families deeper into poverty and, when aggregated to the national level, results in a significant obstacle to economic development and poverty reduction. Building on work done at the global level, this publication contains evidence from the Western Pacific region on the relationship between poverty and TB, with the aim of assisting national policymakers and TB programme managers improve access by the poor to directly observed treatment (DOTS) for TB.

Major Infectious Diseases identifies feasible, cost-effective packages of interventions and strategies across delivery platforms to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, malaria, adult febrile illness, viral hepatitis, and neglected tropical diseases. The volume emphasizes the need to effectively address emerging antimicrobial resistance, strengthen health systems, and increase access to care. The attainable goals are to reduce incidence, develop innovative approaches, and optimize existing tools in resource-constrained settings.
