This strategy overview focuses on the goal of reducing the incidence and mortality of MDR-TB in Myanmar through partnerships and innovative approaches. It includes evaluating past implementations, identifying successful strategies, and piloting potential innovations. The strategic model involves continuing community outreach, providing DOTS to TB patients, advocacy for shelters and masks, upgrading lab facilities, training lab techs, and supporting patient care. Partnerships with key organizations aim to enhance case detection and treatment success, with a focus on risk groups like PLHIV and geographical areas with high default rates. Organizational capacity development and community support play pivotal roles in this comprehensive TB control approach.
