From DOTS to the Stop TB Strategy
Building on Achievements for Future Planning
Stop TB Partnership Symposium at the 37th UNION World Conference on TB and Lung Disease
31st October 2006, Paris
The burden of TB in 2005
1.6 million deaths in 2005 – 98% of these in developing world
219,000 deaths due to TB/HIV
MDR-TB present in 102 of 109 countries and settings surveyed, XDR-TB emerging
8.9 million new cases in 2005 – 80% in 22 high-burden countries
Global TB control targets
2005: World Health Assembly:- To detect at least 70% of infectious TB cases- To treat successfully at least 85% of detected cases
2015: 50% reduction in TB prevalence and death rates by 2015
2015: Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Target 8: to have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence… Indicator 23: prevalence and deaths associated with TB
Indicator 24: proportion of TB cases detected and cured under DOTS
Over 26 million patients treated under DOTS with high cure rates

Stop TB Strategy to reach the 2015 MDGs
In conclusion…In conclusion…
New challenges require the new Stop TB Strategy
The new Stop TB Strategy underpins and strengthens the Global Plan to Stop TB, 2006-2015
The Strategy & The Global Plan
Objectives of the meeting:
To review progress in scaling up TB control according to the Stop TB Strategy and the Global Plan to Stop TB, 2006-15
To discuss major challenges and potential solutions to scaling up TB control according to the Stop TB Strategy and the Global Plan
To determine how Working Groups can work together better to support country planning and implementation of the Stop TB Strategy.
Achievements 1 84% Treatment Success rate ± 60% Case Detection rate Development of Country Strategic Plans 2006-
2010 Increase in DOTS coverage and DOTS
infrastructure Laboratory strengthening initiatives (introduction or
expansion of EQA)
Strengthening: planning capacity, M&E and supervision (regular M&E meetings; sharing examples of good practice)
Increase in available financial resources
Achievements 2
TB/HIV Policy for collaborative TB/HIV interventions and initiated
implementation TB/HIV training materials developed and training begun M&E Systems for TB/HIV developedMDR-TB Political commitment for MDR-TB management at
country level and resource mobilization Increased funding for second-line drugs (GFATM) Scale up of MDR-TB treatment in many countries (40
countries GLC approved, more than 23,000 patients on treatment) Human resources for MDR-TB
Development of guidelines and training modules Training of NTP managers and consultants
Achievements 3
PPM Development of guidelines Scale up of successful pilots contributing to
increase in case detection Training of NTPs, private sector and
consultants
ACSM Started to engage cured patients, affected
communities and civil society Use of the media (radio messages and TV spots to
increase TB awareness)
GFATM grants have ACSM components
Key Overarching Challenges
• Alignment of national plans with the Global Plan to Stop TB 2006-2015
• Ensuring sustainability: – Core government support– Donor - dependent NTPs– Donor contribution phasing out or unstable
• Political commitment with sustained and/or increased resources to reach MDGs and beyond– Raising and maintaining political commitment in large
federal systems– Build advocacy at Global, National and Sub-national
Levels
• Health system strengthening (quality, coverage, infrastructure, measurement and indicators, way of contributing)
• Human Resources (management, planning, quality, quantity, distribution, recruitment and retention)
• Laboratory infrastructure, staffing and capacity
• The introduction / scale up of MDR-TB, TB/HIV activities and those to reach special populations all pose highly complex challenges
Key Overarching Challenges
• Data management and measurement of Stop TB component
• Maintaining and/or improving quality• Balancing competing priorities (with other programmes
and within TB control e.g. funding for some components vs basic DOTS)
• New strategy and multiple partners require better Coordination (internally and externally)
Key Overarching Challenges
• Other – Extending diagnosis to smear-negative and EP-TB,
including HIV settings and childhood TB– Biosafety and infection control– Underdeveloped guidance on component 5 – ACSM– Lack of clarity around definitions of community – Need for TA in different areas and cross-cutting
• Importance of continuity and ongoing support• Links with HR development to ensure sustainability
– Translating guidelines into programmatic activities
Key Overarching Challenges
How can the working groups and partners ensure adequate coordinated response?
• The highest priority is basic DOTS quality -– Where DOTS has been scaled up very fast – Where health systems, HRH and labs are very weak – Where HIV epidemic and MDR-TB problems are the
most severe
• Governments and partners with the least capacity need the most help to adopt the Strategy in full.
• We need to work in a new way – piloting, assessing & sharing results, while preparing and initiating scaling up.
• We need to continue to document results
