Lessons from health systems & policy research

Leading global

killer

TB now the leading cause of death fromany infectious disease including HIV. 

TB is theleadingkiller ofwomen

Affects thepoorest

Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low-and middle-income countries. 

Approximately480, 000 people

developmultidrug-

resistant TB everyyear

Currentapproach

insufficient

We are not winning the battle againstTB despite investments in TB control.

1.5% peryear

TB: 1.3 million

HIV/AIDS:1 million

Malaria:445,000

At current rate ofdecline in

incidence (1.5%) itwill take >150years to reachglobal END TB

targets

This new evidence, which includes the largest study on delay to TB diagnosis in the

world, highlights the importance of adapting global strategies to local health systems. 

      32% of patients inChina experienced a

delay of > 90 daysbefore reaching a

health facility thatcan correctly

diagnose and treatTB for free

 Only 29% ofpublications from

Cambodiabetween 2000-2016 addressed

policy makerspriority areas for

TB control

    "We usuallytry many othermethods first

and the hospitalis the last

choice" - Cambodian

patient

16% of TBpatients in

Myanmar do nothave a

treatmentsupporter

Targets

focus on case detection rates and

ignore critical delay to diagnosis

Research strategy

requires strengthening of

primary health services

Health service delivery model

needs to better address

gaps for policy making
