The German Financial Cooperation (KfW) supports a TB control programme, developed in cooperation with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Médecins sans Frontières (MSF), through the procurement of drugs, laboratory equipment and medical appliances. The project aims at interrupting the TB infection chain and at improving diagnosis and treatment of TB, based on the Directly Observed Treatment Strategy (DOTS strategy). This programme also addressed tuberculosis in vulnerable patient groups like prisoners or people living with HIV/AIDS.
