Information on DOT (3)
----------------------
Dear Vitalis Chipfakacha,
You might find the following publication by WHO very useful:
Use DOTS More Widely - WHO Report on the Tuberculosis Epidemic 1997,
52pp + 20pp of insert.
This annual WHO report conveys a message of cautious optimism: recent
evidence demonstrates the power of DOTS strategy strongly advocated
by WHO to defeat TB in both poor and rich countries. It cites compel-
ling evidence of its effectiveness, for the wider use of DOTS, and
explains what needs to be done to encourage countries to adopt its
use.
