National tuberculosis programme in Belarus: report available in Russian

WHO/Europe's recently published Review of the national tuberculosis programme in Belarus is now also available in the Russian language.

The review took place from 10-21 October 2011, in response to the request of the Ministry of Health of Belarus for an external review of their national tuberculosis (TB) programme.

Belarus is a top-priority country for prevention and control of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), recently documented at the highest levels in the world. In recent years, Belarus has revised its national TB policies and guidelines according to international recommendations.
