Title: Progressing towards TB elimination
Description: "The Framework Action Plan to Fight Tuberculosis in the European Union was launched by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in 2008. On the basis of a request of the EU Health Commissioner to develop a monitoring framework in support of the plan, ECDC has now produced a Follow-up to the Framework Action Plan. The objectives of the Follow-up to the Framework Action Plan are: to provide an overview of the current strategic environment for TB control in the EU and outline how this relates to the global situation; and, to describe an epidemiological and strategic monitoring framework that would allow progress towards elimination of TB in the EU to be assessed"--p. 1.
