• Foremost is the serious epidemic of MDR tuberculosis.
• The recent expansion of DOTS should help to limit the development of MDR tuberculosis.
• WHO estimates that a third of the world's cases of MDR tuberculosis are in China, even though the country has only 15 % of the global burden of tuberculosis.
• Koch critically notes that because the DOTS protocol aims to change the individual s behavior without addressing the need to change the institutional, political, and economic contexts, certain limitations arise, such as MDR tuberculosis.
• But reduction of the existing burden of multidrug resistance will take time, especially since poor-quality DOTS services in some areas and inappropriate treatment of tuberculosis in parts of the hospital system continue to generate new cases of MDR tuberculosis.
• A study conducted in Mumbai by Udwadia, Amale, Ajbani, and Rodrigues, showed that only 5 of 106 private practitioners practicing in a crowded area called Dharavi could prescribe a correct prescription for a hypothetical patient with MDR tuberculosis.
• The new 5-year implementation plan of the national tuberculosis control program ( 2006 10 ) has incorporated key elements of the new Stop TB Strategy and the second Global Plan to Stop TB . These include a programmatic approach to diagnosis and treatment of MDR tuberculosis, tuberculosis control in migrants, and tuberculosis / HIV collaborative activities.
