How to hinder TB control

Details:

• Incentivise national TB programmes to obscure rather than highlight programmatic challenges.
• Rush to medical or technological solutions rather than systems strengthening.
• Focus on purchasing drugs for multi drug-resistant TB and ignore essential infrastructure requirements to deliver them effectively.
• Leave the unregulated private sector to incorrectly dispense antimicrobials.
• Start and stop TB programme funding suddenly.
