Tuberculosis Management - Project HOPE is working on a region-wide initiative with the goal of improving the effectiveness of the health system in responding to TB by implementing DOTS (Directly Observed Therapy – Short Course) in five countries. The project has the following objectives: (1) increase the utilisation, quality, and successful completion of DOTS; (2) improve the management of the TB control system; (3) develop approaches to bring DOTS to special populations; (4) improve laboratory support to DOTS; and (5) facilitate an improved TB policy environment and appropriate practices through dissemination of results and lessons learned.
