Book Description
Recent developments in TB treatment have prompted the need for revision of the TB treatment outcome definitions. An online expert consultation meeting organized by WHO’s Global TB Programme in November 2020 was to determine recent changes in TB treatment affecting treatment outcome definitions and discuss options for changing the definitions. The consultation led WHO to propose new treatment outcome definitions for drug-susceptible TB (DS-TB) and drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). The purpose of this publication is to summarise changes in the definitions of tuberculosis treatment outcomes, arising after the expert consultation. The publication is to inform a wide audience about the new definitions of TB treatment outcomes so that these definitions are readily adopted and used, globally.

WHO operational handbook on tuberculosis. Module 5
Author: World Health OrganizationPublisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9240046836
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The aim of this operational handbook is to provide practical guidance on the implementation of the World Health Organization (WHO) policy recommendations on the prevention and management of TB in children and adolescents under programmatic circumstances and at different levels of the health system. The practical guidance aims to inform the development or revision of national policies and related implementation guidance (e.g. handbooks, standard operating procedures) on the management of TB in children and adolescents. This handbook can also help countries adequately plan for the uptake of interventions to better address the specific needs of children and adolescents with or at risk of TB. It can contribute to national efforts to build capacity among national and subnational programme managers and among health workers at all levels of the health care system. The target audience for this handbook includes NTPs and other child health programmes that provide care for children with or at risk of TB, including maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health programmes, HIV services, and PHC programmes. The handbook also targets paediatricians and other health care workers (HCWs) in the public and private sectors, school health services, civil society and community-based organizations, and health care educators.
WHO consolidated guidelines on tuberculosis. Module 5

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The objectives of the 2022 consolidated guidelines are: to provide policy makers and implementing partners with evidence-based recommendations on the cascade of care for children and adolescents; to support the implementation of activities to prevent TB among children and adolescents at risk; to improve TB case detection and treatment outcomes in children and adolescents with TB using effective models of care; and to contribute to reductions in TB related morbidity and mortality in children and adolescents in line with global targets including those in the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the WHO End TB Strategy and the Political Declaration of the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on the Fight against Tuberculosis. The target audience for these consolidated guidelines consists primarily of national TB programmes (NTPs), primary health care (PHC) programmes, maternal and child health programmes, national AIDS programmes (or their equivalents in health ministries) and other health policy makers. They also target generalist and specialist paediatricians, clinicians and health practitioners working on TB, HIV and/or infectious diseases in public and private sectors, the educational sector, nongovernmental-, civil society- and community-based organizations, as well as technical and implementing partners.

Consolidated guidance on tuberculosis data generation and use. Module 1. Tuberculosis surveillance

ISBN: 9240075291

Pages : 94
Book Description
Since 1995, WHO has ensured a consistent approach to national, regional and global TB surveillance by providing standardized definitions, forms and registers for the recording and reporting of individual-level and aggregated data about people diagnosed with and treated for TB, which are used worldwide. This standardization has facilitated the regular reporting of TB data to WHO from 215 countries and areas in annual rounds of global TB data collection, with findings published in an annual WHO global TB report since 1997 and data made publicly available via the online WHO global TB database. The goal of this 2024 edition of WHO guidance on TB surveillance (following the last major update published in 2013) is to ensure the continued worldwide standardization of TB surveillance, in the context of the WHO End TB Strategy, the latest WHO guidelines on TB screening, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and commitments made at the 2023 UN high-level meeting on TB, while also promoting the establishment or strengthening of digital, case-based TB surveillance that is integrated within the overall public health architecture. This 2024 edition provides a comprehensive and consolidated package, bringing together both updated guidance as well as (within web annexes) closely related WHO products, tools and documentation related to TB surveillance. The web annexes (and associated links to them) are listed below. The package was informed by (and includes a summary of) lessons learned about TB surveillance during more than 100 national TB epidemiological reviews conducted since 2013.
