New Diagnostics: Now There is one year project for strengthening TB laboratory activities supported by TB Reach project in wave 2. the project distributed a flour scent microscopes and Gene Xpert machines to enhance the TB case detection rate by improving the capacity of the laboratory section. Research: The promotion of research is one of the main components of the World Health Organizations Stop TB Strategy,which includes ‘programme-based operational research (OR)’ and ‘research on introducing new tools into practice’. The importance of OR in improving tuberculosis (TB) control was recognised a long time ago, and historical OR studies have been instrumental in the development of major strategies for TB control. |
