Mandate
The mandate of the TB Epidemiology and Intervention Research Unit is to conduct programmatically relevant research aimed at implementation of evidence-based TB policies and practice. The research portfolio is therefore guided by national and international TB control programme priorities. Current research activities are driven by three major needs, ie. rapid and effective expansion of the DOTS management strategy, addressing the impact of HIV on the TB epidemic, and containing the spread of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) in South Africa. |
