| Résumé : | The WHO Regional Committee for Europe adopted the tuberculosis action plan for the WHO European Region 2016–2020 in 2015. In line with Health 2020 and other key regional health strategies and polices, the action plan sets a regional goal and targets for the care and control of tuberculosis (TB) and drug-resistant TB by defining strategic directions and describes activities to be carried out by stakeholders. The action plan is based on the lessons learnt in implementing its predecessor, the consolidated action plan to prevent and combat multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis in the WHO European Region 2011–2015. The new action plan is applicable to all countries in the Region, including both high-priority countries and those with a low incidence of TB. The implementation of the new action plan would mean saving an estimated 3.1 million lives, curing 1.4 million patients and preventing 1.7 million new cases of all forms of TB. The cost of implementing the plan is estimated at US$ 15 billion. Based on the economic analysis of lives saved and avoidable suffering prevented, the plan should prove highly cost-effective, resulting in savings of US$ 48 billion. |
