Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | Since 1 January 2008, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the WHO Regional Office for Europe have jointly been coordinating the collection of tuberculosis (TB) surveillance data in Europe. Their aim is to ensure a high quality of standardized TB data covering all 53 countries of the WHO European Region, plus Liechtenstein. As in the previous year, surveillance of TB reveals a mixed epidemiological picture among the Member States of the WHO European Region. Member States in the east have much higher notification rates than the west. While the Region comprises only 5.6% of newly detected and relapsed TB cases in the world, it reported 329 391 new episodes of TB in 2009 and 46 241 deaths from TB in 2008, the majority of them in the 18 high priority countries of the Region. A stronger commitment to the Stop TB Strategy, including health system strengthening, can have a significant impact on the TB epidemic in the Region. The following should continue to be promoted: early TB detection by ensuring better access to TB services via primary health care; availability of high-quality laboratory services and anti-TB drugs; and better collaboration of national TB programmes with other national programmes and departments, including HIV/AIDS, penitentiary system, social sectors and community. Expanding routine drug-resistance surveillance to include TB/HIV coinfection, computerizing the national data management tailored to local infrastructures and adopting international standards on case definition and reporting will increase the quality of data and provide more evidence for effective decision-making. v, 138 p. |
