We are pleased to announce that TB MAC organised a symposium at the 2015 Union meeting in Cape Town titled ‘Modelling to support TB control policy in the era of the End TB strategy’.
Now the post-2015 End TB strategy Global targets have been set, country-level policy makers and NTPs urgently need support to assess how to reach these targets. In this symposium we highlighted how mathematical modelling can be a useful tool for exploring the health impact, cost-effectiveness and resource implications of future TB control options. We also presented case-studies of how mathematical modelling can support TB programmes in practice.
