    Public Health Actions Linked To Information Obtained From Public Health Surveillance Activities in The Field of Tuberculosis Control

    Uploaded by

    Public health surveillance activities related to tuberculosis control can provide information that informs public health actions. Routine case finding reports and data analysis can reveal trends over time and location that require investigating inconsistent notification. Disease burden estimates and progress monitoring can necessitate enhanced programming if targets are not being met. Information like high default rates, inadequate defaulter tracing, or low detection by other providers can mobilize resources to strengthen treatment support and public-private engagement. Research providing estimates of drug resistance burden or new models' effectiveness and feasibility can change policies or expand tested approaches. National strategic plans generally aim to strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems, surveillance levels, technical standards, tools, data flow, and quality assurance over time.
