Situational Assessment Checklist To Guide Implementation Of The Global Strategy For Tuberculosis Research And Innovation

Situational assessment checklist to guide implementation of the global strategy for tuberculosis research and innovation

Research along its full spectrum is critical for developing new tools and strategies for better tuberculosis (TB) prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care and to provide scientific evidence for programmes, practitioners and policy-makers working to alleviate morbidity and mortality from TB. Under the leadership of WHO, a global strategy for TB research and innovation was developed and adopted by Member States in 2020 to advance research and innovation, by translating political commitments made in the Moscow Declaration to End TB (2017) and the political declaration at the United Nations high-level meeting on TB (2018) into concrete actions. The present document is a checklist that allows for a robust analysis of the current situation at country level, to build an evidence base for prioritizing the implementations of the recommendations made in the global strategy through changes in policies, programmes and interventions. It is designed as a reference for ministries of health and other entities responsible for overseeing the implementation of the global strategy.

Global Tuberculosis Report 2021

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.
