9 An optimal health system for TB LEADERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, OVERSIGHT SURVEILLANCE WORKFORCE CAPACITY AND COMPETENCY LABORATORY PRACTICE INFORMATION AND DATA SYSTEMS CASE INVESTIGATION ORGANIZATION AND SYSTEMS CAPACITY Adapted from the Public Health Foundation, Washington, DC Some Good News for TB programs July 2013 Launch of the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) Merger of five Caribbean health institutions New laboratory strengthening programs CARPHA CDC Caribbean MedLabs Foundation Opportunities for research 26 Challenges to TB program success Diverse Situational Factors Political instability in some places State of Public Health Services Variable HIV/TB program collaboration The Built Environment Overcrowded living/working conditions + poor ventilation Variation in Poverty and Education levels Natural disasters Competition with other health issues Non-communicable diseases Emerging infectious diseases Finances 9
10 SUMMARY Thinking from a Managerial Viewpoint The countries with the largest populations and with overcrowded cities have the highest burden of TB A systems strengthening approach is likely to help countries toward the goal of eliminating endogenous TB Competition with other health concerns tends to lower interest in TB Cross-program collaboration offers practical advantages Thinking from an Epidemiologic Viewpoint Caribbean data tends to get lost in Global Reports because of regional grouping We must continue to highlight TB Epidemiology in the worst affected countries maintain action plans to tackle risk factors and reduce the burden of disease Several Caribbean countries are close to eliminating TB 10
