The Cabinet of Minister of Ukraine has approved the national special-purpose social program for fighting tuberculosis for the period from 2018 to 2021.
A respective resolution was passed by the government at its meeting on December 27.
The program is based on the new global strategy of the World Health Organization (WHO) entitled “End TB Strategy” and benchmarks for a comprehensive action plan to fight tuberculosis in the WHO European Region for 2016-2020.
The implementation of the program will help reduce the number of TB cases and mortality cases resulting from tuberculosis and co-infections (tuberculosis / HIV infection / AIDS).
