Book excerpt: Although the countries in the Central Asia region are still at the earliest stage of an HIV/AIDS epidemic, they are experiencing a steep growth of new HIV cases, related epidemics of injected drug use, sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) and tuberculosis.

Download or read book Stopping Tuberculosis in Central Asia written by Joana Godinho and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Tuberculosis is still a significant health and economic problem in Central Asia, despite recent progress of the overall economic situation in the region. Over 50,000 new cases were detected in 2003, and over 7,000 people died due to tuberculosis in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan the four countries analyzed in this study. Stopping Tuberculosis in Central Asia examines the control efforts and financing of tuberculosis programs in the region. It also addresses the impending epidemiological crisis that has been posed by the sudden increase in cases of HIV/AIDS infection combined with a prevalent epidemic of tuberculosis. The authors find that it is highly unlikely that the Central Asian Republics will succeed in achieving the global targets for tuberculosis control in the short-term unless decisive action is taken.

Book excerpt: Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS have a significant impact on the economy and society of Kazakhstan and a growing challenge to the country's health system. Together these two diseases could severely constrain the future economic growth and the human capital development of the country. To face the challenge of the dual threat of HIV/AIDS and TB focused, highly cost-effective programs will be required to ensure that limited resources produce the highest impact. To this end, this study addresses the overall performance of the tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) programs in Kazakhstan. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the efficiency, quality, and effectiveness of each of the programs and identifies the structure of financing and cost-effectiveness. It focuses on the availability of resources to combat the diseases and the distribution of these resources within the country. (See related World Bank Technical Paper, "Stopping TB in Central Asia: Priorities for Action.") Also, the report identifies opportunities to improve performance, specifically analyzing the relationship between inputs and outcomes and highlighting, in the case of the TB Program, opportunities to produce significant savings or improved value-for-money in the program. The executive summary presents an overview of the study, summarizing the key findings and recommendations. The second section under each program then outlines the key issues and actions associated with the performance of the national programs. The key actions summarize recommendations on future areas of interest that would complement the findings of this report and deepen policymakers' understanding of how to improve the system.
