Resources Required for Global Tuberculosis Control

We estimate that to achieve the World Health Organization's
tuberculosis control targets, the 22 high-burden countries (HBCs) that
collectively account for approximately 80% of the world's tuberculosis cases require about $1 billion per year during the period
2001 to 2005. A further $0.2 billion per year is needed for low and
lower-middle income countries outside the 22 HBCs. There is a resource
gap of up to around $300 million per year. Substantial progress in
tuberculosis control could be achieved with increased investment that
is large in the context of existing spending, but small in the wider
context of global health expenditure.
