Sudan's National Tuberculosis Control Programme, supported by the World Health Organization's Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office, works to expand tuberculosis diagnosis and treatment coverage through the country's primary health care system and to raise the national treatment success rate toward the WHO target of 90 percent by strengthening directly observed treatment. Its stated priorities include improving referral of suspected cases from primary health facilities to dedicated tuberculosis management units, building a comprehensive system to manage multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and ensuring collaborative tuberculosis and HIV activities are carried out together.
