Description

This guide addresses several challenges in implementing the WHO Stop TB Strategy. The expanded framework expresses the need for equal emphasis on the technical, managerial, social and political dimensions of DOTS. It reinforces the five essential elements of the DOTS strategy and addresses HIV-related and drug-resistant forms of TB.
