Verdict: in summary, zimbabwe's removal from the high-risk tb countries list reflects progress in tb management, but efforts to prevent and fight tb continue. the claim that 'the world health organisation  removed zimbabwe from the list of 30 high tuberculosis burden countries in recognition of its success of reducing the burden of tb disease in recent years' has been rated as true but with missing context. the missing context is that the who has 3 tb lists and zimbabwe has only been removed from one , remaining on the other two - the tb/hiv list and the mdr/rr-tb list.
