Book Description
Although the countries in the Central Asia region are still at the earliest stage of an HIV/AIDS epidemic, they are experiencing a steep growth of new HIV cases, related epidemics of injected drug use, sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) and tuberculosis. They also have a large youth population and low levels of public awareness about the epidemics. This report contains country profiles which identify key issues and recommend further action, covering epidemiology; strategic and regulatory frameworks; surveillance; preventive, diagnostic and treatment activities; non-governmental and partner activities; and resources available.

Book Description
Annotation Tuberculosis is still a significant health and economic problem in Central Asia, despite recent progress of the overall economic situation in the region. Over 50,000 new cases were detected in 2003, and over 7,000 people died due to tuberculosis in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan the four countries analyzed in this study. Stopping Tuberculosis in Central Asia examines the control efforts and financing of tuberculosis programs in the region. It also addresses the impending epidemiological crisis that has been posed by the sudden increase in cases of HIV/AIDS infection combined with a prevalent epidemic of tuberculosis. The authors find that it is highly unlikely that the Central Asian Republics will succeed in achieving the global targets for tuberculosis control in the short-term unless decisive action is taken.

Tackling the World's Fastest-Growing HIV Epidemic
Author: Feng ZhaoPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464815240
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
The Eastern Europe and Central Asia region has the world’s fastestgrowing HIV epidemic. Although still concentrated, the epidemic has diversified, affecting several key populations in many countries. This change has increased the number of people in need, the ways the epidemic can spread, and the complexity of formulating an effective strategy to combat it. At the same time, international funding is insufficient to cover the growing need, and domestic plans to cover the funding gaps, in many cases, fall short. In this environment, the need to use data to make the best possible decisions about using available funds is essential. Tackling the World’s Fastest-Growing HIV Epidemic tells the story of how, in 11 countries across Eastern Europe and Central Asia, small groups of decision-makers and experts came together to carry out innovative, groundbreaking analyses for each country. It details the steps these nations have taken to strengthen their HIV programs based on the findings while highlighting critical issues for the road ahead. In so doing, the book also shows the potential of what can be done with a mathematical model and how it can support real-life improvements in policy and more efficacious budget allocations. It is the record of a unique undertaking to improve public health investments that offers lessons for many communities.
