WHO in collaboration with the Ministry of Health conducted a workshop on tuberculosis (TB) control  between 11 and 12 September 2013.

The main objective of the workshop was to enhance TB case detection and to effectively implement the WHO-recommended DOTS strategy under current circumstances.

The workshop was attended by 60 participants from the Directorate of Communicable and Chronic Diseases at the central and local levels.

Workshop attendees participated interactively in all discussions concerning strategies to improve TB case detection and treatment. They also recommended to continue training activities for building the capacity of TB staff in order to achieve the programme objectives.
