Major successes
The global Millennium Development goal and regional
targets for TB control are likely to be met
Increasing Government funding for TB control
Revised National TB care guidelines approved by Health
Ministerial order
WHO revised definition and reporting framework for
tuberculosis introduced in all levels of TB care – pilot in
2014, starting 2015- will be reported officially
Nationwide TB prevalence survey started in Apr 2014
and field data collection completed in urban areas
Introduction and roll out of GeneXpert
Major challenges
Dependence from external funding – sustainability of the
National TB programme after the end of the GF grant
Diagnosis and management of EPTB and TB in children
Early detection and treatment of TB among high risk groups
(homeless, alcoholics, migrants)
Increasing rates of default and failure among TB patients in
the last two years, especially in Ulaanbaatar city
Lack of awareness of the public about TB
National TB Strategy/Policies
• Timeframe: 2010 - 2015
• Targets: by 2015, reduce TB prevalence to 154 per 100
000 and by 2015, reduce TB mortality to 15 per 100 000
• Alignment with WHO End TB strategy: The new National
Stop TB strategy will be developed in 2015
• National Health Sector Plan will be end in 2015. National
Strategic Plan to Stop TB 2010-2015 is aligned.
• Budgeted
• 70% - GF supported project, 30% - government
Laboratory strengthening
•LED
2 LED: NRTL and 1 province
A prison hospital and 3 provinces received in Nov 2014
•Xpert
3 GeneXpert –NRTL and 2 provinces
NRTL: Total tested 2659, MTB detected 50.2%, error 3.1%, rif
resistance detected 18.6%
•Quality assurance
EQA SSM 36 ZN, 1 LED labs, EQA DST, SSM from RIT, Japan
•Laboratory information management system
Internet-based system www.tubis.mn
•TA partners
SRL –RIT, Japan since 2005
Reach the unreached
• Active case finding: among high risk populations – prisoners,
homeless, medical workers, pregnant women, people living
with HIV
• Passive case finding: adults by smear examination and X-ray,
children tuberculin skin test and X-ray
• Contact investigation: family members of smear positive
patients, children, MDR-TB – target 100%, in practice – 86%
• TB-HIV: screening of people living with HIV for TB by Gene
Xpert, all new and relapse TB cases (16 years old and above)
tested for HIV. So far 181 HIV cases are reported, out of them
31 are co- infected
• Child TB: Operational research on contact investigation,
strategy on child TB will be developed in 2015
Surveillance
• Quality of surveillance system
–Use of national unique ID
–Paper and internet based reporting: on time by
paper; some difficulties using internet-based
system due to internet connection
• New case definition roll out
– WHO revised definition and reporting
framework for tuberculosis introduced in all
levels of TB care – pilot in 2014, starting
2015- will be reported officially
Surveillance
• e-R&R
– Internet based reporting – ‘tubis’;
– Update of the system based on WHO new
definitions
– 90% of TB reporting units use ‘tubis’ platform
• Analysis and usage of data at national and
sub-national levels
– Analysis data at the national level on monthly,
quarterly and annual basis
– Limited capacity at the sub-national level

PMDT
•Plan vs universal coverage
–In 2014 planned 219 MDR-TB and 81 PDR patients to enroll in
treatment
•Barriers
–Lack of social support for MDR-TB patients
–Lack of experienced health providers ( high turn over of
staff)
–Lack of management of side effects
–Some MDR-TB patients refuse to receive treatment
due to various reasons (religious, co-morbidities etc.)
PMDT: Priority actions
–Strengthening management of MDR-TB patients
(counseling, follow up of patients, capacity building of
TB providers)
–Establishment of patient support groups in
collaboration with MATA
–Treatment of XDR-TB patients with financial support of
the GF
–DRS planned in 2015
–TB prevalence survey results to be analyzed
–Advocacy to include MDR-TB drugs in Government
budget
Bold policies and supportive systems
•TB care financing and social protection
–TB care financed by the Government
–No health insurance coverage for TB services
–No specific social protection services for TB patients
–Within general social protection system TB patients (especially
employed) may receive disability benefits for certain period
•Strengthening notification mechanism
–An estimated 15-20% of diagnosed TB cases are not notified
–Supportive supervision should be strengthened
–Strengthen internet based reporting and recording
•Drug regulations – Progress since drug regulation meeting in
March 2014
–New drugs for MDR-TB were included in national essential drug
list
–Drug information is in the process of revision in internet-based
system
Patient centred care: involvement of patients
and civil society
• Community mobilization activities
– Patient support groups will be established by
MATA with financial support of Stop TB
Partnership
• CBO involvement and their role
– MATA: lunch DOT and home DOT
– World vision: TB services for prisoners,
homeless
– TB Coalition: advocacy for local governments
Patient centred care: involvement of
patients and civil society
• Involvement of patient groups in TB control
– In the process of establishment
• Forms of social support to TB patients (incentives?
TB Pension? Reimbursement of costs related to
care like transportation costs?)
– Transportation cost only for MDR-TB patients (GF)
– Within general social protection system TB patients
(especially employed) may receive disability benefits
for certain period
