| Please tell us how your organization is contributing to your country's national TB control plan: | |
| In 2008 the Dutch National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation started discussing division of national TB control tasks between the two institutions. The Executive Boards took a decision of intend to transfer certain to be defined surveillance tasks to CIb, while other tasks will remain with KNCV, such as guideline development, coordination and technical advice. This is because of KNCV’s unique position as a knowledge and expertise centre for tuberculosis in the Netherlands. National stakeholders, such as the Municipal Health Services (GGDs), GGD Nederland, the Dutch Ministry Of Health, NVALT, Associations of TB doctors and TB nurses, were informed about this decision. KNCV has been responsible for the Dutch TB surveillance for about two decades. With the establishment of CIb in 2005 most infectious disease surveillance was transferred to CIb, as formal governmental institution responsible for this. Until now TB surveillance was still implemented by KNCV, on CIb’s request, because of its unique expertise on TB surveillance in The Netherlands. |
