| The changing global epidemiology and new developments in TB care and service delivery have necessitated crafting of a new TB NSP for 2017-2020. It has equally been imperative to align the new TB NSP with the National Health Sector Strategic Plan (NHSSP-2016-2020) recently unveiled. Furthermore, it has been important for the plan to dovetail with aspirations of the post 2015 Global Plan to end TB. This strategy will inform resource mobilisation efforts for ending TB, and provide a shared platform for engaging key stakeholders in this fight. |
