N2  - This is the ninth WHO annual report on global tuberculosis control, including data on case notifications and treatment outcomes from 199 national TB control programmes, and an analysis of plans, budgets, expenditures, and progress in DOTS (Directly Observed Therapy - Short Course) strategies for 22 high-burden countries.
