Good Practices in TB Control Programme in SAARC Member States

It is accepted that Tuberculosis is a communicable disease which is the major cause of morbidity and mortality globally and needs a dedicated and innovative approach for the prevention, treatment and control. On September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly formally adopted the "universal, integrated and transformative" 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The goals are to be implemented and achieved in every country from the year 2016 to 2030.

This document is prepared to provide information about good practices on Tuberculosis control in SAARC Member States. Good practices comprise examples of programmes, projects and activities that have been shown to contribute towards making interventions successful. Sharing good practices is important.
