Focusing on five key indicators - case detection treatment success incidence prevalence and deaths - Global Tuberculosis Control 2007 presents the fullest possible assessment of progress towards MDG targets in the world as a whole and in each WHO region and country. This latest report compiles case notifications and treatment outcomes for 200 countries up to the end of 2005. It presents in particular WHO s final assessment of which countries and regions achieved the 2005 targets of 70% case detection and 85% treatment success. The report also investigates how effectively national TB control programmes have begun to implement WHO s expanded Stop TB Strategy and sets out costs budgets expenditures and sources of funding. It summarizes progress on initiatives including the development of public-private partnerships in TB control human resource development the management of drug-resistant TB and collaborations in TB and HIV/AIDS control. Bringing together information about more than 26 million TB patients Global Tuberculosis Control 2007 is the definitive source of information about the national and international response to the worldwide TB epidemic.
