It is designed to fill an 18-month gap between the full reports of 2009 (in March) and 2010 (in October), following changes to the production cycle of the report in 2009 that have been made to ensure that future reports in the series contain more up-to-date data. The report includes the latest (2008) estimates of the global burden of TB (incidence, prevalence and mortality). It also includes an assessment of progress in implementing the Stop TB Strategy and the Global Plan to Stop TB, which in combination have set out what needs to be done to achieve the 2015 global targets for TB control. These targets are that incidence should be falling by 2015 (MDG Target 6.c) and that prevalence and mortality rates should be halved by 2015 compared with their level in 1990. The latest data (up to 2010) on financing for TB control are presented, and progress towards the 2015 targets at global and regional level is analysed. The report also features updates about the work of the Global Laboratory Initiative and the WHO Global Task Force on TB Impact Measurement, and highlights achievements in TB control during the period 1995-2008 as well as the success of a new initiative in 2009 in which global TB data collection went online."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Tuberculosis $x Epidemiology. 650 0 $a Tuberculosis $x Prevention 650 0 $a Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis $x Chemotherapy. 650 0 $a Medical economics 710 2 $a World Health Organization 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825064624.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE98403A6A8B11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
