TB Control Global Targets 2015: Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Target 8: to have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence Indicator 23: incidence, prevalence and deaths associated with TB Indicator 24: proportion of TB cases detected and cured under DOTS 2015: 50% reduction in TB prevalence and deaths by 2015 2050: elimination (<1 case per million population)
The global response: Stop TB Strategy & Global Plan 1. Pursue high-quality DOTS expansion 2. Address TB-HIV, MDR-TB, and needs of the poor and vulnerable 3. Contribute to health system strengthening 4. Engage all care providers 5. Empower people with TB and communities 6. Enable and promote research

What are the challenges in 2010? 1. DOTS quality not uniform; only 61% of all estimated cases reported; diagnosis probably late in most settings 2. TB/HIV, especially in Africa; MDR-TB, especially in former USSR and China; XDR-TB everywhere we look for it 3. Weak health systems and services compromising TB care; lack of bold policies on free access to care, drug quality and restriction, labs, human resources, infection control, etc. 4. Not all care providers, non-state and even governmental, working at high standard; weak public-private links 5. Communities often un-aware, un-involved, not mobilised 6. Research not yet delivering innovative tools, transfer of technology slow, and operational research neglected
Public-Private Mix for TB care and control: Milestones 2001: Informal global consultation; Lancet publication 2002: Inclusion of PPM in the Expanded DOTS Strategy 2003: Evidence-base on working models from diverse settings 2004: PPM for TB: What makes it work?.. Cross-country analysis 2005: Cost-effectiveness shown; "public-private" to "all providers" 2006: PPM/ISTC essential components of the Stop TB Strategy 2007: PPM guidance/istc/nsa tool implemented in diverse settings 2008: PPM activities in 58 out of 93 Global Fund grants 2009: Appeal for PPM scale up in "Beijing CfA" and WHA 2009
Increasing case notifications is good, But it is not yet early case detection Annualised rate of ss+ cases diagnosed per 100,000 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 99q1 Case recovery into the NTP by different care providers, Bangalore, 1999-2005 99q3 00q1 00q3 01q1 01q3 02q1 02q3 Quarter 03q1 03q3 04q1 04q3 05q1 05q3 NGO Private Corporate Medical college Other Government Health Department Public and private medical colleges (yellow) diagnose a huge number of cases, but many of them are from outside the city and need to be refereed for treatment elsewhere. The increase in diagnosed cases represents increased notification after medical colleges and other providers started to report to NTP in a standardised way
Trend of Global Fund support for PPM activities progress is evident
Public-Private Mix for TB care and control: Unfinished agenda More projects than programmes? Large proportion of care providers still to be engaged? Capacity strengthening within the non-state sector? Unabated misuse of anti-tb medicines? Measurement of contribution weak? Regulatory approaches and their effectiveness? Limited uptake/input by MDR-TB, TB/HIV, GLI, ACSM? Promoting systems approach?: every health unit lists and shows how all care providers in its area contribute to TB/MDR-TB/TB TB/TB-HIV control with enhanced equity in access to care.
