Abstract:
Countries in different parts of the world tailor their tuberculosis (TB) control programmers according to their specific requirements. There is an imperative need for sharing the knowledge and best practices of these programmers internationally. Global cooperation is needed to fight such devastating diseases across continents and borders, since such infectious diseases cannot be contained and kept isolated within specific geographical boundaries. In endemic countries, diagnosis and treatment (through DOTS) of smear-positive cases remains the key to TB control by reducing transmission from infectious cases. In addition to passive case-finding practices, early diagnosis of smear-positive cases can be improved through untargeted case-finding strategies in endemic countries. Health system issues hampering this include a significant percentage (45% in countries like India) of TB patients accessing health care through the private sector. Such patients are unaccounted for, and together with delay in diagnosis they may act as a constant reservoir for TB infection. Efforts to include private players (private practitioners, retail pharmacies, and laboratories) in TB control activities are therefore essential to curtail the epidemic
