WHO activities

The Ministry of Health (MoH) is going to create and implement an e-health platform for recording, reporting and surveillance of diseases, one module of which will be dedicated to TB case management (recording, reporting and surveillance). The National TB Programme (NTP) urgently needs to implement an interim Microsoft (MS) Access-based TB registration system prior to its introduction. This MS Access-based register is already successfully used in other countries. It was decided during a partners’ meeting organized by WHO that the NTP will approach the MoH (Uzmedinfo) to gain consent to implement the interim TB registration system, which can be done by WHO in line with the Challenge-TB project.
