1. Global Challenges and Intensified Action
Substantial progress in TB control
WHA 2005 targets:
one at reach (cure rate 82% vs 85%)
one uncertain (detection rate 37% vs 70%)
More needed to reverse the epidemic
keeping the pledge of commitment by endemic countries
keeping the pledge for support by donors and all partners
expand DOTS and promote an universal standard of care by all
What action?
Short-term, immediate: ISAC (Intensified Support & Action in Countries)
Long-term, towards 2015 MDGs: Ad-hoc Committee recommendations
