Abstract

To mark world TB day, 24 March 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) has published the seventh annual report on global tuberculosis (TB) control. This report aims to share information from national TB control programmes, and includes data on case notifications and treatment outcomes. It also provides analysis of plans, finances and constraints on DOTS (directly observed treatment-short course) expansion for the 22 high burden countries in order to assess progress toward global targets for case detection (70%) and treatment success (85%).
