Global
tuberculosis control report 2007
published by WHO
 The
11th annual report in the series has
been published by WHO on World TB
Day 2007. The new report features
the latest surveillance data for
2005. Of the 6 WHO regions, the
Eastern Mediterranean Region still
ranks 5th regarding the achievement
of 70% case detection target. The
Regional DOTS coverage has
significantly increased to 97%
compared to 91% in 2004. In 2005, 9
countries of the Region have
achieved the treatment success rate
targets and 7 countries have
achieved the case detection target.
However, only 5 countries have
achieved both targets including
Somalia, one of the high TB burden
countries in the Region.

The 10th WHO Global
tuberculosis control report 2006
 The
recently published report confirms
that if the observed acceleration in
case-finding is maintained, DOTS
programmes will detect more than 60%
of cases in 2005, but they will fall
short of the 70% target. Also, at
the end of 2004, DOTS expansion was
complete in nine HBCs and nearing
completion in five others. Pakistan
reported full DOTS coverage by the
end of 2005, and coverage has
increased considerably in
Afghanistan.
