| Organization Description: | |
| Nigeria has the highest tuberculosis (TB) burden in Africa and is 4th among the 22 countries with high TB burden globally (2009 Global TB report). The estimated incidence for all cases is 311 per 100,000 pop (460,000). Although the National TB control programme (NTP) aims at detecting 70% of these cases and cure 85% of them, only about a third are being detected annually. Some of reasons for this very low case detection include low level of awareness among the populace on TB as well as low political commitment from policy makers. The Stop TB Partnership Nigeria was established to complement the efforts of the government and other stakeholders to address these challenges. It is envisaged that the Partnership would be a platform where all stakeholders working ob TB in the country will support and contribute to the implementation of the National TB Plan according to their organizational expertise and resources. | |
