Targets: 35% reduction in TB deaths 25% reduction in TB incidence rate 75% treatment success rate among the MDR-TB patient cohort To reach targets we need to: Scale-up rapid diagnosis Expand patient-centred care Introduce shorter and more effective treatment regimens including new medicines Expand preventive therapy and research for new tools Boost intersectoral approach to address inequities TB control challenges in the WHO European Region Economic recession, poverty and socially vulnerable groups (homeless, unemployed, alcohol-dependent) Health systems: poorly developed or under reform, leading to ineffective TB control M/XDR-TB: the highest rates in the world in EUR HIV epidemic: growing (mainly through injecting drugs users) TB in prisons: penitentiary system very large with poor TB services Migration (East to West, South to North, internal migration) 1
