FINANCING OF TB CONTROL




TB services are free
60% of funding from state budget, 40% from GF
and WHO in 2014
Government gradually increases its financial
commitment to TB control (90% of first-line
drugs, drugs for management of side effects, 50%
of laboratory reagents and diagnostics, inpatient
and outpatient care, health workforce)
GF: 100% MDR-TB, 50% of laboratory reagents,
patient support (lunch DOT and home DOT,
transportation cost), capacity building, infection
control, TA, M&E)
HEALTH SECTOR REFORM

Revision of Health Law and Law on social health
insurance law are in the process
◦ TB financing options have been discussed
 Keep financing for TB control from state budget
 High TB burden and ongoing transmission of
TB in the community
 70% of TB cases are poor people living under
poverty line
 High risk groups for TB are not insured, no
residential registration
 Health insurance system is not optimal, needs
improvements
CHALLENGES
Sustainability of TB control after end of the
GF support
 Continue keeping TB control in high political
agenda
 More work is needed to strengthen
collaboration with non-health sector (Min. of
Population Development and Social Welfare,
Min. of Justice, Min. of Education, Min. of
Defense)
 Lack human resources
