Did we reach the 2005 targets? Will we achieve the Millennium Development Goals?
World Health Assembly 1991 "…attain a global target of cure of 85% sputum-positive patients under treatment and detection of 70% of cases by the year 2000"
Targets for global TB control MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS "to have halted and begun to reverse incidence.." Implementation (DOTS) Target year Case detection 70% 2005 Treatment success 85% 2004/5 Impact Prevalence 50% of ≈ 300/100K 2015 Deaths 50% of ≈ 30/100K (<1m) 2015 Incidence <1 per million 2050
45% 37% 32% 28% 24% 22% 18% 16% OVER 26 MILLION TB PATIENTS TREATED UNDER DOTS WORLDWIDE CASE DETECTION (%) 53% WHO target 59%

TB control in India No state shows marked decline in notification rate attributable to lower transmission Best performers show steady rise 1.1% 9.6% 3.9% Reported smear+ cases per 100K KeralaW BengalRajasthan
Did we reach the 2005 targets? No, but… 59/ /85 = a near miss Over 26m patients treated in 11 yr Target detection in ≈ 57 countries Target cure in ≈ 60 countries Both targets reached in W Pacific On threshold of falling incidence
Will we achieve the Millennium Development Goals? Yes, if… Global Plan turned into robust, funded, country-owned plans to implement the Stop TB Strategy Stronger monitoring & evaluation to guide action, and a deeper understanding of impact of TB control
