Interventions for Tuberculosis Control and Elimination

This is the fourth module of a series of guides based on the material taught in the international TB courses. It deals with the interventions directed against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex: treatment, prophylactic treatment, BCG vaccination and preventive chemotherapy, by assembling information on each available intervention and weighing the role of each in current practice.

Guide for the procurement of anti-tuberculosis drugs

This guide is intended for National Tuberculosis Control Programmes, national essential drug programmes or central medical stores and their partners. It is a much-needed tool to improve effective supplies of essential drugs in low- and middle-income countries. The major challenge for most countries today is not whether or not to launch a DOTS programme but how to urgently scale-up its coverage while improving quality and impact. Safe and efficient drug procurement is a prerequisite for any such expansion. Getting the procurement principles right is especially important for TB control. Mistakes in quantities, quality, and standardisation of regimens, timing and delivery, all could have dangerous repercussions for tuberculosis patients and for the communities within which they live.
