Myanmar faces a major public health problem in Tuberculosis (TB). The country is listed among the 22 high TB burden countries, among the 41 high TB and HIV burden countries and among the 27 high multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB burden countries. In 2007, an estimated 124,416 TB cases were notified in all forms, corresponding to a case notification rate of 265 cases per 100,000 population. The program is implemented through a Dual Financing Track scheme and focuses on TB and high risk patients. The proposal for this grant builds on the National TB Strategic Plan 2011 to 2015, and coordinated with both the National HIV/AIDS and Malaria proposals. The program aims to reduce the burden of TB by 2015 in line with the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and Stop TB components of the new Stop TB Strategy. The activities under current grant will enhance the quality and expand services to all TB patients, sustain and further improve case detection and treatment success rate.
