Ending TB in the South-East Asia Region Regional Strategic Plan 2016-2020

This Regional Strategic Plan towards Ending TB in the SEAR 2016–2020 describes the future directions and focus of the work towards TB elimination aiming to support Member States in reducing tuberculosis mortality and incidence in line with global targets as set in World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution WHA67.1.

The resolution will guide countries in addressing persisting and emerging epidemiological and demographic challenges and advancing universal health coverage and robust health systems. The plan builds on and expands the existing updated Regional Strategic plan for TB Care and Control 2012–2015 and focuses on implementation of the End TB Strategy in the coming 5 years within the overall scope of the 20-year strategy covering 2015–2035.
