National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control Programme Revised National Strategic Plan 2015/16 - 2019/20
Global Health Security Capacities
Description
The Ministry of Health greatly acknowledges the contributions of various TB, TB/HIV and Leprosy stakeholders as well as institutions that supported the review of this five-year NTLP Strategic Plan, 2015/16 - 2019/20. The review was necessitated largely by the need to reflect the findings and program implications of the national TB disease prevalence survey 2014/15 and to align the NSP to the End TB Strategy 2016 - 2035. The review of the National Strategic Plan was facilitated by a team of National Consultants led by Professor Nuwaha Fred in collaboration with Dr. Katamba Achilles, Mr. Mayora Chrispus and Dr. Imoko Joseph F. The team was guided by Dr. Mugabe Frank Rwabinumi, the Program Manager of the MoH-NTLP, with support from Dr Aldo Burua, Dr. Kasozi Samuel and Dr Raymond Byaruhanga of MSH/TRACK TB project. The national team was supported by an External Consultant, Dr. Gargioni Giuliano of WHO Headquarters Geneva.
