Description

The Global Plan to Stop TB 2011-2015 retains the full spirit of its predecessor, Global Plan to Stop TB 2006-2015, while providing a clearer blueprint for action, setting out what needs to be done to achieve the 2015 targets set within the context of the MDGs and by the Stop TB Partnership. It takes in to account significant policy changes and costs to antiretroviral therapy, updates to the MDR-TB component of the plan, updates to estimates of epidemiological burden and trends, the importance of giving a higher profile to laboratory strengthening and the necessity to address the full spectrum of research.
