Tuberculosis Control in the Western Pacific Region, 2008 Report
The status of the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic and progress in control of the disease has been assessed annually since 1997. This report presents an overview of progress in reducing the burden of TB in the Western Pacific Region (the Region) using data on disease burden and case notification in 2006 and treatment outcomes for patients registered in 2005. The data were collected from 35 countries and areas in the Region using the WHO standard form for reporting surveillance data. The report contains data trends on estimated TB prevalence and mortality, TB notifications by age group and ***, TB-HIV co-infection and other indicators of progress, including treatment outcomes and laboratory capacity and quality. This report presents data on multidrug resistant-TB from various drug resistance surveys from the countries and areas in the Region. This year's TB Control Report provides more in-depth analysis of trends on TB epidemiology and progress on the implementation of the components of the Regional Strategic Plan for 2006-2010 and Stop TB Strategy. The specific country profiles contained in the report of countries with high burden and intermediate burden of TB and the Pacific provide country-specific information on progress of TB control.
