- This fourth TB national strategic plan, which will be implemented with an integrated approach together with the HIV programme, was developed through review of literature, and other international and national strategic documents as well as guidelines and multiple consultations with various stakeholders. The WHO people-centred framework for TB programmes formed the underlying structure for setting the goals and objectives. In addition, the goals, objectives, and interventions were developed on the principles of integrated health services, intensified case finding, participatory community engagement, advocacy for political commitment, resource mobilization and research and innovation.
- The NSP on TB is not merely a policy document, this plan signifies a resolve. It epitomizes the nation’s forward-thinking approach, underscoring the importance of a collaborative battle against both HIV and TB. Recognizing the interplay, understanding the stakes, and championing a concerted effort are at its core.
