The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) provide targets and indicators for tuberculosis (TB) control. This review outlines historical target setting and future TB control indicators up to 2015.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Control
  • Global Health Policy

Background:

  • The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have influenced global health strategies.
  • Tuberculosis (TB) control efforts have historically utilized various targets and indicators.
  • Evaluating progress in TB control is crucial for global health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical evolution of target setting in tuberculosis control.
  • To present the comprehensive set of indicators and targets for TB control guiding efforts until 2015.
  • To align TB control strategies with the Millennium Development Goals framework.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of historical target setting in TB control.
  • Analysis of existing and proposed indicators for TB control.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Synthesis of targets in relation to the Millennium Development Goals.

    • Main Results:

    • The paper details the progression of target setting methodologies in TB control.
    • A complete suite of indicators and targets for TB control through 2015 is presented.
    • The integration of TB control targets within the broader MDG framework is established.

    Conclusions:

    • The MDGs have significantly shaped the landscape of TB control targets and indicators.
    • The outlined indicators and targets provide a clear roadmap for TB control efforts up to 2015.
    • Effective use of these indicators is essential for monitoring and achieving global TB control objectives.
